White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow dismissed “voting rights” in stalled talks over a coronavirus relief package, saying on CNBC that it’s part of a “liberal left wishlist” and that it’s “not our game.”
Said Kudlow: “So much of the Democratic asks are really liberal left wish-list. We don’t want to have, you know, voting rights and aid to aliens, and so forth. That’s not our game, and the president can’t accept that kind of deal.”
