“Mitch McConnell said he wanted states to go bankrupt instead of the federal government providing relief. Today, Thom Tillis agreed.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: McConnell was talking about states in poor shape before the outbreak. Tillis agreed Congress shouldn’t pay for losses unrelated to the outbreak, but not that states should go bankrupt.
