Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats are pushing their nearly 3,000 page CONCEDES Act, which does nothing to counter the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for their malign actions. In fact, this legislation will line the pockets of those responsible for unleashing COVID-19 on the world.
The CONCEDES Act mandates an $8 billion injection of U.S. taxpayer money into the United Nation's Green Climate Fund, an unaccountable slush fund, which the CCP has already directly benefited from. The worst part is House Democrats rejected attempts to prohibit the CCP from accessing the billions of taxpayer dollars in this Fund.
