In case you need a reminder, this is just one of the things #Trump did that necessitated the creation of the new House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis.

From @SenToomey on the #coronavirus
#Patsy wants to re-open #Pennsylvania, and many think that his decision to drop this plan is his way of dipping his toe in the coming race for governor.

Fitzpatrick’s statement seems more like a rant.
But his claims that he cares for how the #PPP funds are being disbursed are ENTIRELY undercut by his vote against the oversight committee.
