Sen. Bernie Sanders doubled-down on his demands for a universal basic income during the Coronavirus pandemic Thursday morning; saying the federal government must “guarantee income and health care” for all Americans.

“Last week, 6.6 million applied for unemployment. Millions more will lose their jobs in the coming weeks. In the midst of this horrific crisis, Congress must pass a new, unprecedented emergency bill that guarantees income and health care for all Americans. Working on details now,” posted Sanders on social media.

Sanders ripped the Trump administration’s response to the Coronavirus pandemic this week; calling the White House’s efforts to slow the spread of the disease “insane.”

“Millions are losing their jobs and health care at a rate never before seen in American history. @realDonaldTrump’s response? Block http://HealthCare.gov from enrolling people who desperately need insurance during a pandemic. That is insane,” posted Sanders on social media.

Sanders ripped the Republicans’ Coronavirus relief package on social media last Monday; saying the plan focuses on “corporate CEOs” at the expense of “food and transit workers.”

“Reading the Republican coronavirus bill, you’d think the most important people in America are corporate CEOs. That is wrong. Our essential workers include: Health workers. Delivery and warehouse workers. Food workers. Transit workers We must put their needs ahead of CEOs,” posted Sanders on twitter.

President Trump sent a message of hope directly to the American people during his daily press briefing Sunday evening; saying the US has “a leader that will always fight for you” and “won’t stop until we win.”

“For those worried and afraid, please know as long as I am your President, you can feel confident that you will have a leader that will always fight for you and I will not stop until we win,” said the Commander-in-Chief flanked by the Vice President.

Amazing how quickly so called conservatives moved to bailout banks and AIG in 2008…now airlines and Boeing today. But mention one thing about helping ordinary Americans and cries of socialism reverberate across talk radio and Fox.
