Washington
-
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
issued
the
statement
below
after
voting
to
fund
the
fight
against
the
Zika
virus.
Senate
Democrats
continued
to
block
passage
of
the
legislation,
which
they
have
been
holding
up
since
July.
"It
is
extremely
disappointing
that
Senate
Democrats
have
once
again
chosen
to
place
politics
over
the
health
of
the
American
people.
I
have
voted
multiple
times
now
to
fund
the
fight
against
Zika,
and
to
help
protect
pregnant
mothers
and
their
unborn
children
against
the
virus.
It's
well
past
time
for
Senate
Democrats
to
get
on
board,
and
stop
offering
excuses
for
their
political
blockade."
