Kevin O’Leary Snaps After Congressman Calls Him a ‘Canadian Reality TV Star’ in Fiery Clash Over Stimulus Bill

‘Wait a second, wait a second, this Canadian TV star, by the way, pays lots of taxes here, has his children that can vote, and is on his way to becoming an American citizen shortly’

Shark Tank’s  Kevin O’Leary, better known to many as “Mr. Wonderful,” lost it after Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) called him a “Canadian reality TV star” on air during a clash over the latest Covid-19 stimulus bill.

CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin spoke with both on Squawk Box Tuesday, as House Democrats are expected to make the final approval on the $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief bill that passed in the Senate this weekend.

“Kevin, help me with this, I don’t disagree with you on the idea of wanting to do this more precisely,” Sorkin said to O’Leary, who had clear issues with the bill. “I think everybody wishes you could actually — like a laser beam just get the money to the most vulnerable people, but if I told you the system is not created in a way that allows for that, is this an acceptable way to do it?”
