House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy accused Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday of holding up the $2 trillion coronavirus response package to extract partisan goodies while struggling families and businesses paid the price.

And McCarthy, of California, blasted the top Democrat, also from California, in tough terms for touting her side’s wins in the final coronavirus bill, claiming the fundamentals actually were in place on Sunday and each day Democrats sought more concessions created additional hardship on real families.

“How many people were laid off as the Democrats fought to change the election law or implement the Green New Deal?” McCarthy charged Thursday in a press conference. The Green New Deal was never included in the House proposal, but it did include measures meant to curb airline emissions.
