Biden Uses $83 Million COVID Relief Funds For New McCain Library
ADI | September 28, 2023Joe Biden gifted $83 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds to Arizona State University (ASU) for the construction of a library honoring the late centrist Senator John McCain.
The library will serve as the anchor to ASU’s future McCain Campus. The funds came from the American Rescue Plan, which was originally promised as a means of “delivering direct relief to the American people,” who sustained lasting financial and emotional strains endured by the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
…
… an 83,000 square foot library near Papago Park designed specifically for “underserved communities.” Meaning: the entire public may not always benefit from the library, just those that meet certain equity criteria determined by ASU and/or the government.
Interestingly, Gov. Katie Hobbs was present to introduce Biden on Thursday morning, even though the evening before she stepped down as governor temporarily and wasn’t present on the tarmac when Biden landed. Treasurer Kimberly Yee served as acting governor, with both Secretary Adrian Fontes and Attorney General Kris Mayes absent.
…
Despite the subject of his grand gift being McCain, Biden’s speech announcing the library focused more on demonizing his political opposition. The president mentioned “MAGA,” “Republicans,” and “extremists” individually more times than he mentioned McCain.
So Arizona’s Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General all avoided Biden, but the press took no notice?
Are they all teenage girls who didn’t want to be sniffed?
The Boston mayor used some covid relief money to give away ice cream. I kid you not. The relief funds were just another slush fund.
Never judge a crook by its cover
