Welcome to #PA07, Mr. President. But people are dying here in Allentown. As you plan your photo opp, they’re saying goodbye to their parents in nursing homes over Zoom. Our firefighters are preparing to be furloughed. Folks are hungry, tired, & broke. How are you helping?
Unlike you, I’ve worked to get people covered during this crisis. I’ve introduced bills to open an emergency enrollment period — you’ve said no. How can you pose for pictures with the people you’re trying to take health care from? Your ACA lawsuit is ongoing DURING a pandemic!
Our nursing homes are drowning. Both the frontline staff and the patients. From the very beginning they needed rapid testing and PPE — you didn’t get it to them. Where are the tests? Where is the PPE?
What’s your plan to pay the firefighters and teachers who will be furloughed without local funding? McConnell called this funding a “Blue State Bailout” — but these furloughs don’t just hurt Democrats, Mr. President.
Pictures of the Lehigh Valley will look great in your next ad, but people aren’t getting sick along party lines. It’s not about politics, it’s about policy — and you’ve failed them.
So when you pose with our frontline workers, wear a mask. It’s literally the least you can do.
