I also found this article on 2020/12/21 where Pelosi says she wanted more stimulus, but the $600 checks were significant.[1] So it seems all the more unlikely that she said she was against further stimulus at any point on the 22nd.

Some democrats were urging her to accept it in October: https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1315078896853843970

The House had passed the HEROES act for additional stimulus in May 2020. The Republican senate refused to even put it up for a vote. She was always for passing of the HEROES act even during this October - December period. She was always pro stimulus.

Does anyone else cringe at this American obsession with naming acts of congress so as to create "inspirational" acronyms?

The top article in your Google search (lol) link is the Sun. A British tabloid with the same owner as Fox News.

Also calling me “r****” is definitely against HN civility rules.

You know the entire establishment media is owned by a select few people right?

She was very clearly against stimulus before election because she didn't want to give a win to her political opponent.

We can say whatever we want about her political opponent but he had made it very clear on Twitter that he would instantly sign a stimulus only bill without pork if it's brought to him. Pelosi on the other hand played politics and blamed it on her political opponent as she didn't want cheques with his name going out before elections.

Here's her interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer criticized by the left:

Here's a right leaning source:

> House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped into the White House's latest $1.8 trillion coronavirus relief offer during a combative interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, accusing President Trump of only wanting to send out a second round of stimulus checks to juice the economy and boost his election odds.

> The Trump administration's proposal -- its largest yet -- drew criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, dimming the odds of another round of emergency aid before the Nov. 3 election. It was expected to include a second round of direct payments of up to $1,200 for adults and $1,000 for children; expanded unemployment benefits at $400 per week and additional funding for state and local governments.

> Blitzer pressed Pelosi about her decision to reject the deal, even as some Democrats, including former presidential candidate Andrew Yang and California Rep. Ro Khanna, urged her to accept the offer. (Khanna tweeted that Pelosi should "make a deal & put the ball in McConnell court").

Do you have a direct quote from her that says she doesn’t want stimulus compared to the avalanche of quotes supporting more stimulus?

> “If I am sent a Stand Alone Bill for Stimulus Checks ($1,200), they will go out to our great people IMMEDIATELY. I am ready to sign right now. Are you listening Nancy?” Trump tweeted.

> House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped into the White House's latest $1.8 trillion coronavirus relief offer during a combative interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, accusing President Trump of only wanting to send out a second round of stimulus checks to juice the economy and boost his election odds.

So clearly she didn't want any stimulus before elections. Else she would have gotten the $1200 stand alone bill done and signed instantly.

Once the elections were over:

> Trump calls for $2,000 stimulus checks as $600 payments start being deposited

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/30/trump-calls-for-2000-stimulu...

https://thepostmillennial.com/pelosi-says-600-per-household-...

> Pelosi says $600 stimulus payment after 8 months is SIGNIFICANT

> We also have in the legislation, uh, direct payments which were not in the Republican bill, to America's working families. I would have liked them to be bigger, but they are significant and they will be going out soon."

This is obviously a lie since her political opponent had tweeted several times "If I am sent a Stand Alone Bill for Stimulus Checks ($1,200), they will go out to our great people IMMEDIATELY. I am ready to sign right now. Are you listening Nancy?" and "$2,000 stimulus checks"

Is $600 more significant than $1200 or $2000? Is that "not having enough stimulus"?

And now her party holds all 3 - house, senate and presidency and yet there's no $2000 cheques. If her political opponent was willing to give $1200 and then $2000 and yet her own party hasn't gotten that done, then who's worse?

Here is an actual quote from her which is a direct response to a Trump tweet:

“Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!”

It's even more odd to see the, "if you disagree you're alt-right/ a Nazi" mentality on HN.

Why does a member of congress need to day-trade stocks, let alone leveraged derivatives? It's absurd.

You believing that "right-wing conspiracies" automatically means ties to "alt-right/Nazis", I think this says more about your personal biases than the person you are responding to.

maybe on that one point, but the fact the democrats trade way more on the markets is not a conspiracy theory, it's an outright conspiracy.

why are you defending these people? because they're democrats on paper?

just call it a lie. don't need biased adjectives.
