Regardless of how you may feel about the new COVID19 relief package, it shouldn’t be all that difficult to recognize the role Democrats played in delaying it.
But it’s apparently incredibly difficult for Politico congressional reporter Sarah Ferris to recognize it:
McConnell is on the floor saying there was no reason this package couldn't have been signed into law "multiple months ago."
This will infuriate Dems, who have been trying to pass Covid relief since May. McConnell wanted to take a "pause"

Mitch McConnell stating the obvious will infuriate Dems?

It’s something. We’ll give her that.

Great question. She mentions in her Twitter bio that she mostly covers House Democrats. Maybe she meant to say covers for House Democrats.
Yeah, except Pelosi said she affirmatively prevented a deal. Credibility shot here, kid. pic.twitter.com/ON1Bv3gdRS

“Journalism”

That is the hack point of view. Be better.

Wait are you being serious with this?
Their agreement is on the framework Dems have been blocking for months. This “pause” talk is bad Dem messaging, McConnell has put multiple relief bills on the floor since then.

Guess not. Or maybe she just doesn’t care.
