Cal Cunningham Attacks Senator Thom Tillis for Supporting Coronavirus Aid Bill

This week, the Senate passed a $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill to blunt the devastating economic damage inflicted by the ongoing global pandemic. It passed 96-0 with overwhelming bipartisan support.

While Senator Thom Tillis and the rest of the Senate united around the bill to help the American people, Cal Cunningham opted to launch political attacks. Cunningham chastised Tillis for voting in favor of the relief bill, suggesting it enabled “corruption” and stating Tillis was “wrong” to support it.

This isn’t the first time Cunningham has opposed legislation that benefits North Carolinians. He also adamantly opposed the 2019 GOP tax cuts, falsely claiming they were for “corporate special interests and wealthy donors.” In reality, the vast majority of middle-class Americans received a tax cut for the first time in more than three decades.
