Senate Republicans immediately went to social media to expose the nonsense in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ridiculous $3 trillion coronavirus spending bill. Republicans said the bill is 1,815 pages, 347,144 words, and it took them just over six minutes to scroll to the end. “This is what trying to take advantage of a crisis looks like,” they wrote.
They even posted the six-minute video of a staffer scrolling through the bill.
1,815 pages.
347,144 words.
44,803 paragraphs.
It took us over 6 MINUTES just to scroll to the end.
Even the media calls it a “wish list” that will “never become law.”

Senate Republicans have already said the bill is dead on arrival.
Conference Chairman @SenJohnBarrasso:
