understand it

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Punchbowl News on Thursday that Americans overwhelmingly support President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus package because they don't understand what's in the American Rescue Plan.

He also falsely claimed in his interview with Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News that former President Barack Obama's $800 billion economic stimulus legislation, which went into effect in 2009, had similarly high approval ratings. Neither Biden's nor Obama's relief packages found any support among GOP lawmakers, but Biden's COVID-19 stimulus package has attracted significantly higher public approval than Obama's did.

A spokesperson for McCarthy didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

"This isn't a relief bill, it's pretty much a payoff for Pelosi's political allies, and it will be the American people paying the bill," McCarthy said in a statement on Thursday.

Word of advice McCarthy. No matter how good it might feel to do so you don't persuade anyone by insulting them.

without Democratic bill (cause it was Pelosi/Schumer bill too) I would get a little over 800.
