乔·拜登总统的1.9万亿美元冠状病毒共和党参议员约翰·巴拉索周日在美国广播公司的“本周”节目中说，救助计划是虚假广告。

尽管民主党人声称成功参议院共和党会议主席巴拉索对《本周》节目主持人乔治·斯特凡诺普洛斯说，在新冠肺炎救助法案中，只有一部分资金用于阻止病毒传播。

“实际上只有9%的资金用于战胜病毒，”巴拉索说，并重复了关于拨款的说法事实核查网站发现有误导性。“只有1%的资金用于疫苗。这是南希·佩洛西对自由左翼的回报。”

A《今日美国》事实调查表示，85%的法案与冠状病毒大流行直接相关，约15%的提案属于“与当前危机没有直接关系的长期政策优先事项”负责任的联邦预算委员会一个无党派的非营利组织，成立的目的是教育公众关于联邦预算的问题。

这个庞大的提案为美国人提供了直接的救济金和联邦失业援助，给学校更多的资金来帮助重新开放和加快进度冠状病毒测试和疫苗接种工作。但该立法还包括养老金计划、艺术、博物馆和图书馆服务以及联邦运输的资源，这些资源仅占最终价格的一小部分。该立法还包括税法的变化和自医疗保健法通过以来对《平价医疗法案》最积极的扩展。

巴拉索周日辩称拜登铺了一条路当他入主白宫时，在经济问题上。

“这就是拜登总统继承的，一个正在复苏的经济。因此，共和党人希望确保人们能得到鼓舞，孩子们能回到学校，人们能回到工作岗位，但我们不会站在民主党一边，因为他们试图利用危机向大城市和蓝色州输送大量资金，”他说。

斯特凡诺普洛斯就向各州和地方分配资金的问题向巴拉索施压，指出根据该法案，怀俄明州将获得10亿美元。

巴拉索说，他们使用的公式有利于那些采取更严格的封锁措施来遏制疾病传播的州。

“它惩罚了较早开放的州，奖励了保持关闭的州，”他说。“账单将因此而到期，最终，作为你刚刚听到南希·佩洛西说今天，对你们来说，税收将是民主党的下一个议程。"

拜登的计划创造了一个公式，根据失业率而不是总人口来分配资金给州和地方，以确定援助的数量。

民主党人也在考虑对参议院阻挠议案进行可能的修改，这将使少数派更难阻止立法。这样做的目的是通过恢复不间断发言的做法来阻止投票，从而使阻挠议案投票变得更加困难。目前，多数人必须获得60票才能推进立法。一个会说话的阻挠议案将把负担转移到少数人身上，迫使他们发言。

"明确地说，你不反对回到正在谈话的阻挠议事上来?"斯特凡诺普洛斯问道。

“我不介意说话。我认为人们应该能够站起来表达自己的观点。问题是:是50票还是51票?还是60?而现在的数字是60。我们已经这样持续了一个多世纪，”巴拉索说。

作为参议院共和党领导层的第三号人物，巴拉索的会议也面临着自身的内部困难。

参议员罗恩·约翰逊。威斯敏斯特周四发表了关于黑人的命也是命和反法西斯的言论，这些言论被认为是“种族主义的”和“不可接受的”，他因此面临辞职的要求

约翰逊告诉威斯康辛州的一个电台节目主持人，在1月6日国会大厦袭击中，他不担心自己的安全，那次袭击造成五人死亡，但如果抗议者与黑人的命也是命和反法西斯有联系，他可能会担心。

“我知道这些人热爱这个国家，真正尊重执法，永远不会做任何违法的事情，”约翰逊告诉保守的电台。“所以我并不担心。如果形势逆转，特朗普总统赢得选举，成千上万的黑人的命也是命和反法西斯抗议者，我可能会有点担心。”

斯特凡诺普洛斯澄清了约翰逊的评论，指出90%的黑人的命也是命抗议是和平的。

“民主党人呼吁约翰逊参议员辞职。你同意那些评论吗?他应该道歉吗?”斯特凡诺普洛斯问道。

巴拉索指出了俄勒冈州波特兰市的抗议活动，据《the美联社，但没有回答斯特凡诺普洛斯的问题。

“看看波特兰发生了什么，就在那天晚上。巴拉索说:“这些事情还在继续，我们需要回到一个国家和一个州，在那里剃刀线可以放下，栅栏可以放下，人们可以回到华盛顿和国会大厦。”

斯特凡诺普洛斯再次向巴拉索施压，询问他是否认为约翰逊应该为自己的言论道歉。

“那么，他应该道歉吗?”他问道。

“嗯，他要为自己说话，”巴拉索说。“每个成员都为自己说话，我告诉你我的信仰。”

Coronavirus relief bill is false advertising: Sen. John Barrasso

President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillioncoronavirusrelief package is false advertising, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

Despite Democrats'claims of successon the COVID-19 relief bill, only a portion of the funds go to stopping the spread of the virus, Barrasso, the Senate Republican conference chair, told "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos.

"Only 9% of the money actually goes to defeating the virus," Barrasso said, repeating claims about allocations whichfact-checking siteshave found are misleading. "Only 1% of the money goes for vaccines. This is a Nancy Pelosi pay off to the liberal left."

AUSA Today fact checkindicated that 85% of the bill is directly related to the coronavirus pandemic and about 15% of the proposal goes to “long-standing policy priorities that are not directly related to the current crisis,” according to theCommittee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization formed to educate the public on federal budget issues.

The expansive proposal provides direct relief payments and federal unemployment aid to Americans, give schools more funds to help with reopening and help speed upcoronavirustesting and vaccination efforts. But the legislation also includes resources for pension plans, the arts, museum and library services and federal transit, which only make up a small percentage of the final price tag. The legislation also includes changes to the tax code and the most aggressive expansion of the Affordable Care Act since the health care law's passage.

Barrasso argued Sunday thatBiden had a path pavedfor him on the economy when he entered the White House.

"That's what President Biden has inherited, a recovering economy. So Republicans want to make sure people get shots in the arms, kids get back to school, people get back to work, but we are not going to stand with the Democrats as they try to exploit a crisis to send lots of money to big cities and to blue states," he said.

Stephanopoulos pressed Barrasso on the distribution of money to states and localities, noting that Wyoming is set to receive $1 billion under the legislation.

Barrasso said the formula they used favored states which pursued stricter lockdown measures to curb the spread of the disease.

"It punished the states that opened earlier and it rewarded the states that stayed closed," he said. "The bill is going to come due for this, and ultimately, as youjust heard Nancy Pelosi saytoday, to you, taxes are going to be next on the Democrats agenda."

Biden's plan created a formula to allocate money to states and localities based on the rate of unemployment, not overall population, to determine the amount of aid.

Democrats are also entertaining possible modifications to the Senate filibuster, which would make it more difficult for the minority to block legislation. The idea is to make it more difficult to use the filibuster to block a vote on the bill by reinstating the practice of talking on the floor without interruption to block a vote. Currently, the majority must find 60 votes to go forward with legislation. A talking filibuster would move the burden to the minority, forcing them to the floor to speak.

"To be clear, you have no problem with going back to the talking filibuster?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"I don't mind talking. I think that people ought to be able to stand and express their views. The question is: is it 50 votes or 51? Or is it 60? And the current number is 60. We've had this going on now for over a century," Barrasso said.

As the No. 3 in the Senate Republican leadership, Barrasso's conference is also facing internal difficulties of its own.

Sen. Ron Johnson. R-Wis., is facing calls to resign after comments he made Thursday about Black Lives Matter and antifa that have been deemed "racist" and "unacceptable."

Johnson told a Wisconsin Radio show host that he was not concerned for his safety during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, which left five dead, but that he may have been if the protesters had been linked to Black Lives Matter and antifa.

"I knew those are people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break a law," Johnson told the conservative radio station. "And so I wasn't concerned. Had the tables been turned, and President Trump won the election, and those were tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and antifa protesters, I might have been a little concerned."

Stephanopoulos clarified Johnson's comments, noting that 90% of Black Lives Matter protests were peaceful.

"Democrats are calling on Sen. Johnson to resign. Do you agree with those comments? Should he apologize?" Stephanopoulos asked.

Barrasso pointed to protests in Portland, Oregon, where police detained over 100 individuals on Friday night at a demonstration, citing an investigation of a crime, according to theAssociated Press, but did not answer Stephanopoulos' question.

"Look what's happened in Portland, just the other night. These things continue, we need to get back to a nation and a state where the right the razor wire can come down, the fences can come down, people can get back to Washington and the Capitol," Barrasso said.

Stephanopoulos pressed Barrasso again on whether or not he believes Johnson should apologize for his comments.

"So, should he apologize?" he asked.

"Well, he's going to speak for himself," Barrasso said. "Every member speaks for themselves and I'm telling you what I believe."
