What a load of dishonest spin.
McConnell let a $3 trillion bill sit on his desk which included a laundry list of Democratic wishes, many of them unrelated to actual coronavirus relief. When the Senate GOP brought up their own version a coronavirus relief bill, which still had a price tag north of $1 trillion and was more narrowly focused, the Democrats voted it down, arguing that no bill was better for Americans than the GOP bill.
Also note that a coronavirus bill is difficult because it contains a myriad of actual policies, of tradeoffs and priority-setting. By contrast, a judicial nomination is "easy" for the Senate: it is the president who has to come up with a nominee, and there is no policy involved in the confirmation hearings. They dont have to write a thousand page mammoth bill or anything like that. All they have to do is decide whether the nominee is qualified and suited to serve on the Supreme Court.
oh believe me, i know all about the
bad joke of a special interest tailored, and disgustingly inappropriate 'narrowly focused' gop corona bill, but your typical spin attempts won't hide the FACT that mcconnell is the king of
delaying / ignoring / blocking proposals that would benefit the working class, that he is a driving force behind america's decline into an oligarchy, who has repeatedly perpetuated the 'this is not the time to talk about x' argument, hiding behind the death of people to ignore crucial legislation, who
immediately jumped onto this in order to steal yet another supreme court seat, while RBG's corpse was still warm.
obviously i fully expect people like yourself to try and spin that in the most generous way possible, it's just what cultists do, but his level of hypocrisy, double-standards, and corrupting politics aren't lost on critically thinking people, so you might as well stop your silly rationalisations, the only ones who'd try to justify that are those already in your death cult...
