"You've got to assume a $1.8 billion slush fund for people that beat the hell out of cops. Why do we say that? Because Donald Trump was asked. Mr. President, is this going to be even for people who beat the hell out of cops?' And the president said, Oh, we're going to have a fine commission to determine whether it be these people and including those who beat the hell out of cops, are going to get this money.'"
"Trashing the initiative as extraordinarily outrageous, Scarborough continued to rage that the Republican Party continued to blindly back the president's projects that he warned were costing the taxpayer billions of dollars while working Americans were struggling. He went on: We got this billion-dollar Marie Antoinette' ballroom, now that they're talking about funding and $1 billion plus slush fund for people who beat the hell out of cops."
"It is a slush fund, a weaponization slush fund for supporters of Donald Trump, JD Vance and the Republican Party. And again, you've just got to say, with all time low hey, Republicans, listen you have"
A $1.8 billion compensation fund backed by President Donald Trump is criticized as a slush fund tied to January 6. The fund is described as compensating people who claim they were unfairly targeted in prosecutions under prior administrations, and it is linked to a settlement between Trump and the IRS. Critics raise concerns about who could receive payments, including individuals who assaulted Capitol police officers in 2021. The fund’s defense is contrasted with prior statements about pardons for January 6 rioters. The criticism also targets Republican lawmakers for supporting Trump’s initiatives despite taxpayer costs and economic strain on working people.
