Media Matters and other liberal groups file for coronavirus small-business relief loans from Trump administration – Washington Examiner

Several liberal groups, including Media Matters, have filed for small-business loans during the coronavirus pandemic from the Trump administration.

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.

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.

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.

Conservative nonprofit groups are also seeking loans.

I would love someone to give us free cash, said Adam Brandon, the president of FreedomWorks.

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.
