He took to Twitter on Saturday to say the U.S. has now allocated more money to be spent in the last year than in World War II, thanks to the billions in political payoffs in blue state bailouts.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fact: thanks to the billions in political payoffs in Democrats\u2019 blue state bailout, America has now allocated more to be spent in the last year than we did throughout all of WW2. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EBvEP8EpCN\">pic.twitter.com\/EBvEP8EpCN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader\/status\/1370736328057499660?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 13, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>His comments came after the partisan bill was rushed through both chambers of Congress and signed by Joe Biden Thursday. Concerns were raised over items covered in the bill and what will actually be going to Americans.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy doubled down on his criticisms of the Democrats\u2019 \u201cliberal wish list\u201d and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s special personal interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is really about favors to Pelosi\u2019s friends, it\u2019s not about COVID,\u201d McCarthy stated. \u201cAnd we have already spent more than $5 trillion. If you put it in today\u2019s numbers, for World War II we only spent over $4 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>The congressman has continued to stand his ground when it comes to what the bill actually contains.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) also criticized the COVID-19 relief package. He recently took to Twitter and said \u201cbribing people with their own money is dishonest and unsustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You bribed Americans with their own money and foot our kids with the bill.<\/p>\n<p>You spend only 1% on vaccine distribution.
