Several liberal groups, including Media Matters, have filed for small-business loans during the coronavirus pandemic from the Trump administration.<\/p>\n
Media Matters, the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center, and other liberal groups have filed to receive funds from the small-business relief program, which was replenished with $484 billion, according to Fox News.<\/p>\n
Its hard for me to imagine that any of these liberal groups are going to pull their punches on criticizing government because they got a loan, Gara LaMarche, the president of liberal donor group Democracy Alliance, told the New York Times.<\/p>\n
Up to 14 state affiliates of the American Civil Liberties Union also applied for loans (one of them receiving $154,000), and the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center applied for a loan of $160,000.<\/p>\n
Conservative nonprofit groups are also seeking loans.<\/p>\n
I would love someone to give us free cash, said Adam Brandon, the president of FreedomWorks.<\/p>\n
President Trump signed a $484 billion coronavirus relief package into law on Friday, which included $370 billion in aid for small businesses, $75 billion for hospitals that are having trouble covering costs, and $25 billion for virus testing. <\/p>\n
