Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) spoke with Greta Van Susteren on Newsmax, discussing Congress's funding responsibilities. Thune criticized the Democratic Party for not reopening the government, saying, "They’re holding the American people hostage," and claimed a funding resolution is ready to pass if they cooperate.
Thune expressed concerns over COVID-19 subsidies, which he described as fraught with "fraud, waste, and abuse," and advocated for reform of the program, stating that "Covid isn't with us anymore." He also labeled the current situation a "manufactured crisis" by Democrats.
