Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans are demanding that Attorney General William Barr investigate Planned Parenthood centers that got emergency small business loans under a government program intended to avert layoffs.Thursday to Barr, 27 GOP senators led by Sen.
The GOP lawmakers are homing in on a warning that the Small Business Administration made to Planned Parenthood representatives in recent days. In a letter seen by POLITICO, the SBA told one Planned Parenthood affiliate that it was ineligible under the Paycheck Protection Program's size standards and that its loan should be returned.
The SBA also has restrictions governing how affiliates of the same organization qualify for the aid. In the case of Planned Parenthood, the agency appears to have taken the position that the group's affiliates around the country are subject to enough discretion from the Planned Parenthood Federation of America that they're ineligible for the loans. A spokesperson for the SBA declined to comment on individual borrowers.
Jacqueline Ayers, Planned Parenthood Federation of America vice president of government relations and public policy, said the pressure was a "health centers and access to reproductive health care."
MichaelJFell Just ask Pelosi how they got the funding, they kill the Unborn American babies now up to birth to make room for her immigration
P-leeeeeeaaaassse!
This is the misogynistic elitist GOP for you. Millions lost their health ins during shutdown. PP provides many ESSENTIAL serv. including birth control, STD testing, pelvic exams, cancer screenings, counseling serv. (for men and women) besides preg - related serv low-to-no cost
And will he require an investigation into how many trump owned LLC’s got money?
put up for all those right wing christian coalition of freedom haters and professional bigots... God knows they got your balls there trump.
Of course! Because that’s where all the money went! Not to shady Trump donor, private-jet owning millionaires who needed the money. No need to look over there; nothing going on. Investigate those terrible Planned Parenthood people...they’re the worst! GOPCorruptionOverCountry
So no money to keep some employees but has money for lobbysists? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
, the three companies made $2.2 billion in revenue in 2019. But in March, when U.S. businesses started to feel the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, the companies laid off 95 percent of their employees and hired lobbyists for the first time
A hotel company in Dallas got PPP money under 42 different entities. How about investigating that even though he says he is returning the money?
If that’s the case there are many other companies that are friends of the president that should not have gotten the grants.
'It was not designed to give government funds to politicized, partisan abortion providers like Planned Parenthood,' Never been to one but I am guessing PP does not ask your party affiliation when providing services.
Mitch, Planned Parenthood helps a lot of young women. I'm against abortion but it's more then that. What do you have against females? When they have a child, you jump up and down about helping to support them. Moscow Mitch is evil.
marcorubio wrote the dammed thing, go after him
So, I guess they believe there's no sanctity of life for the living.
Big Government Republicans.
Lol. They worry about this? This shows how much they don't care about real issues. Like a Corona slaughter!!
The usual old white, half-dead male inquisitors looking for women to burn at the stake
Which McConnell would not do unless he was 100% sure.
And women still vote for them
Barr, his dad gave Epstein a job at prep school Even though he didn’t even have a degree to teach. Epstein pedophile. Barr senior-Probably a pedophile. Trump rumored to be a pedophile.Trump friend of Epstein. Barr friend of Trump. McConnell married a billionaire from China.Lovely
78 Days. From election day to inauguration day. When Trump, grifters like DeVos, and the really dangerous like McConnell realize there lost, what will they be capable of? 7 8 D A Y S
Meanwhile Trump supporters got big bucks
Don’t investigate Trump’s buddies who got loans. Or listed companies. But instead this Geez
😂😂😂
Figures. But please don’t investigate the millions of dollars given to corporations
There’s not one damn day that they don’t do something that makes my blood boil! It’s enough already🤬
ImpeachBarr
Now do cruise companies that don’t pay US taxes.
how about investigating these freeloading churches that waste our taxpayer money
But not the Lakers, they are a small mom and pop and billionaire family operation
I demand that someone investigate Mitch McConnell and where his money comes from.
Planned Parenthood should return the money
Vampires... the GOP is a septic tank overflowing with psychos
Mitch is literally the worst! Kentucky please make him go away in November. My uterus is counting on you
Maybe there should be an investigation of the billionaires receiving millions. This is a farce
Morons want Barr to investigate something they authorized in the bills they passed without reading? Sounds like Congress all right.
We should never support. Planned Parenthood
senatemajldr 'Moscow' Mitch always quick to investigate everyone else but himself and his wife who are under investigation for 'funneling millions' to a tax haven accounts and for his part in bankrupting the American people while giving BILLIONS to the rich, rich, rich!! Asshole
Why investigate giant corporations who barely pay their workers when you can investigate a service thousands of women depend on?
Definition of deep state is Barr and McConnell.
Why are these Republicans so intent on interfering with women’s health?
Check out the bright shiny new distraction
VOTE BLUE!
Why aren’t they investigating churches that got loans?
The worst people
GOP demanding that feds abort loans to Planned Parenthood, even if initiated in 3rd trimester - McConnell et al. demand that Barr investigate Planned Parenthood centers that got emergency small business loans under a gov't program intended to avert layoffs
ItsOverNowOk What about those churches... let’s get this investigation party going. Jerks.
Yeah, why would protecting woman health be important 🙄
Blood sucking org.
Lolol republicans only have one trick and it’s a losing one
Why should some non-profits be allowed to take PPP loans while others aren't?
This is lame right now
We better investigate them as we all know they most likely got a lot of money from that fund with their corruption
Pandering to the funnymentalist crowd.
senatemajldr senator, tens of thousands of Americans are dying from COVID19 due to the incompetence & outright fraud of realDonaldTrump in this pandemic, I don’t see you looking into that, but you once again attack women’s rights. No ethics, no morals, no credibility, nothing.
Down with buffoonery! Save America
Well Republicans do consider life to be sacred. Well. At least until birth. After birth, they couldn’t care less about the lives and welfare of people. Do these idiots think that PP would spend federal monies on abortions ? If the money is from the government directly ? Tough !
The virus is the worst enemy. Save America! Politics be gone
What? 🤦🏼♀️
We trust Joe
ProLife? - all they are interested in is 40 weeks of life - ( in the womb humans do not talk back) after that when you cost money and are not paying taxes - you are dispensable. -
Oh but by all means, fire IGs for investigating abuses of power.
They're attacks on women continues to be astonishing. VoteBlue2020
So tens of thousands of churches got government funds but clinics providing healthcare for women need to be investigated? 🤦🏼♀️
The same assholes who claim is wrong for 👩🏻🦰to get an abortion bc of economic reasons (👩🏻🦰can’t afford baby) see no problem w 1000s dying for their ecomic reasons (have to open my business, return to work, save economy). Meanwhile CV-19 has killed 90K. Americans in 9wks! ProChoice
How am I supposed to maintain my white lady good grammar stick up my a$$ when I need to reply to bull$hit like this? KamalaHarris demands that Barr resign. DISBARR
What is wrong with that? 🤦♀️ it’s not 4 abortion, planned parenthood is a place where women go 4 many reasons especially those who can’t afford insurance or R low income! Wow 😯 these Republicans R so bad that it’s despicable! I am Republican but this year my vote will go 2 BIDEN!
If they pay their employees they can apply for PPP. Their political affiliation should not matter.
Election season kabuki theater for conservative voters.
They are not a small business and didn’t they donate ten million dollars to the democrat party? So how does that work? They donate 10 million and then get a loan they are not eligible for, for 80 million. That’s money laundering and real quid pro quo right there. Blatant
How about we investigate some other businesses as well? hmmm?
Meanwhile, Phunware, data firm for Dotard Tunt campaign, took millions in COVID-19 Relief Funds! MAGAVirus
For god’s sake. Really? Do these monsters stop at nothing. Their greedy corporate buddies file for these loans and grab money from the small businesses but Planned Parenthood gets investigated! Go to hell, Barr.
Oh FFS. Senator Loeffler insider traded in plain sight. Let’s have an investigation about that.
Ok who's going to investigate Barr. Up for grabs ... anybody
Meanwhile, Engineer who got $69M contract after tweeting Dotard Tunt never provided ventilators.
They cannot abide health care services for women and families. But, they sure do love private jet companies and their wealthy owners that donate to Trump.
This is fucking terrifying.
...but not investigate why nearly 100,000 Americans have died? Nice priorities.
Moscow Mitch is a cancer on America & Constitution. Moscow Mitch has lowest poll ratings of any senator in his own home state! AmyMcGrathKY
This is so tiresome. What's the problem?
Those mofo's!!!!🤬
Funny how realDonaldTrump didn't want oversight and now we see that all these wealthy organizations got funding while small business was left in the cold. Vote2020
Yes start investigating all of your political enemies. The authoritarian playbook!
'free market unless we say'. U.S. Conservatives.
