The U.S. Chamber of Commerce was blasted on Monday for lobbying against President Donald Trump using the Defense Production Act to respond to critical shortages during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Chris Murphy (D-CN), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) sent a letter (PDF) to the Chamber of Commerce demanding answers.
“This report, if true, is shameful, revealing that the Chamber is actively working against efforts to address the urgent national COVID-19 pandemic, and is placing the short-term desires of its members above the economic and public health needs of hundreds of millions of American families,” they wrote. “You owe the public an explanation for this behavior.”
This is the greed cancer coming home to roost. I am going to call them and ask them why they are doing this and I suggest they get bombarded with calls from the general public.
Ah the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. If Trump was a true populist, he would have called them “the enemy of the people” instead of the news media.
So true.
