President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package is false advertising, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

Barrasso, the Senate Republican conference chair, told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos that despite Democrats’ claims of success on the COVID-19 relief bill, only a portion of the funds go to stopping the spread of the virus.

“Only 9% of the money actually goes to defeating the virus,” Barrasso told Stephanopoulos. “Only 1% of the money goes for vaccines. This is a Nancy Pelosi pay off to the liberal liberal left.”
