QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene DELAYS final vote on $1,400 stimulus checks & says Americans will be ‘ENSLAVED’

A QANON Representative has delayed the final vote on $1,400 stimulus checks and said Americans will be "enslaved."

Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a "motion to adjourn" on Wednesday morning, claiming her colleagues need more time to discuss the bill.

The Republican took to Twitter this morning to preface her move to halt the vote on the bill, which she dubbed a "massive woke progressive Democrat wish list."

"The GOP has messaged against this ridiculous bill. We should do everything to stop it. Pay attention if Rs vote to adjourn. Or with the Dems," she tweeted.

In the House, Greene officially tried to file her motion to adjourn the vote.

"This Congress is ramming through unbelievable things at a rapid pace," she said. "This must be stopped."

"We have to give pause and consideration to what we're doing. This is a waste of money and a complete waste of time. Reopening America is a much better way to go."

She also claimed that there is "no need to enslave" Americans to more debt in the future by passing the huge bill.

"Mr. Speaker, I ask for a motion to adjourn," she requested.

However, just hours after her appeal, 40 Republicans voted against the motion to adjourn.

Despite unsuccessfully gaining an official break in today's proceedings, the vote on the motion is likely to cause some delay in how quickly the final vote is made.

The House is set to vote on Joe Biden's $1.9trillion Covid bill on Wednesday – before unemployment benefits run out on Sunday.

If the bill is passed, Biden will then be on track to sign off on the $1,400 stimulus checks for low and middle income Americans this week.

Moderates forced tightened eligibility for the $1,400 stimulus checks, now phased out completely for individuals earning $80,000 and couples making $160,000.

The House’s initial extension of the soon-to-end $400 weekly emergency jobless payments, paid on top of state benefits, was trimmed by the Senate to $300 and will now halt in early September.

Senator Joe Manchin was a leading holdout and in the middle of talks that resulted in curbing all of those initiatives. The Senate approved the bill on a party-line 50-49 vote on Saturday.

Also dropped was the House-approved federal minimum-wage increase to $15 hourly by 2025.

Dropping the minimum-wage boost was “infuriating,” said Rep Pramila Jayapal chair of the roughly 100-member Congressional Progressive Caucus.

But she called the overall bill "incredibly bold," adding, "It hits all of our progressive priorities — putting money in people’s pockets, shots in arms, unemployment insurance, child care, schools."

However, the package does up spending for Covid-19 testing, along with tax breaks to help people earning less  – and Democrats in the chamber are expected to approve the bill.

Thereafter, stimulus checks will begin being sent out to Americans who fit the bill.
