Sen. Josh Hawley wants to exclude ‘Biden voters’ from $600 Trump tariff rebate checks (The Independent)

Senator Josh Hawley says the legislation he proposes will send $600 tariff rebate checks to Americans, but not to “Biden voters,” only to “Trump blue-collar voters.”

“Well, you wouldn’t give it to everybody, you’d give it to the working people,” the Missouri Republican told far-right podcaster and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on Tuesday. “You’d give it to our people.”

“I mean, you know, the rich people don’t need it … what I mean by that is all those Democrat donors of Wall Street, all these hedge fund guys, who all hate the tariffs, by the way.”
