So many of us — good, decent, law abiding taxpaying Americans — did not receive stimulus checks but Democrats made sure the worst of the worst did – terrorists, criminals, prisoners. Democrats are evil.

Shrapnel – including small nails, plastic, pellets and wood – from one of the homemade pressure cooker bombs set off by Tsarnaev and his older brother had punched through the boy’s 69-pound body. He suffered a six-inch-by-six-inch wound to his left abdomen, which exposed his intestines, and caused damage to his liver, left kidney, spleen and two ribs, Dr. Nields said. ‘There was also a perforation of his lower spine,’ Dr Nields said, indicating that shrapnel had passed through the child’s body and exited through his back.

Cassidy, Cotton slam Dems for blocking amendment that would have banned Tsarnaev from receiving stimulus
Cassidy says, ‘It is an insult to victims’
By Jessica Chasmar | Fox NewsSenate Republicans are slamming their Democratic counterparts for blocking an amendment last March that would have prevented prisoners from receiving stimulus checks, after it was revealed Wednesday that Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev received $1,400 in federal relief.
“Senate Democrats blocked my amendment to prevent prisoners, like the Boston Marathon bomber, from receiving government stimulus checks,” Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “It is an insult to victims.”
SENATE DEMS CLEARED WAY FOR BOSTON BOMBER, OTHER CONVICTED MURDERERS TO RECEIVE STIMULUS CHECKS

“Every single Senate Democrat voted to send covid relief payments to prisoners, including terrorists and mass murderers like the Boston Bomber,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Each dollar Dzhokhar Tsarnaev receives should go to the families of those he brutally injured and killed.”
Tsarnaev has been ordered by prosecutors to return a $1,400 COVID-19 relief payment he received last summer along with other money sent to him, according to a court filing Wednesday.
Tsarnaev so far has only paid $2,202.03 of the more than $101 million in restitution owed to his victims. The filing said the $1,400 in COVID-19 relief money should instead be used as restitution.
Tsarnaev was sentenced to death two years after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, which left three people dead and hundreds hurt. The death sentence was overturned in 2020 after a court ruled that a trial judge erred by excluding some evidence. An appeal to reinstate his death sentence is before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Cotton warned in March that convicts like Tsarnaev would benefit from the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill knows as the American Rescue Plan of 2021, which included $1,400 stimulus checks for individuals making less than $75,000.
“Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Bomber, murdered three people and terrorized a city,” Cotton wrote in a March 6 tweet. “He’ll be getting a $1,400 stimulus check as part of the Democrats’ ‘COVID relief’ bill.”

Cotton and Cassidy, along with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, offered an amendment on the floor at the time to block checks from prisoners, but it failed on a party-line vote, 49-50.
Cruz’s office did not respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., argued at the time that prisoners’ children could be affected by withholding the money from them.
Senate Democrats pushed through the legislation in a party-line vote of 50-49 on March 6, it passed the House a few days later with one Democrat voting against, and President Biden signed the bill into law on March 11.
