By Oliver Willis -July 31, 2020 2:45 PM
House Democrats passed a new coronavirus relief bill funding unemployment benefits, schools, and housing back in the spring.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows claimed on Friday that Democrats are responsible for Congress's failure to pass a new COVID-19 financial relief package.
But Democrats in the House passed a relief Bill in May, while Donald Trump and Senate Republicans have been unable to reach an agreement.
The HEROES Act passed the House with bipartisan support and included an extension of unemployment benefits as well as funding for schools and housing support.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared the legislation "dead on arrival" and refused to bring it up for a vote.

He has a majority and is relying on 50% of his votes coming from democrats and he has been negotiating with people that have said they'd vote against it to begin with no matter what. I'm not the smartest guy but somehow that seems to me a losing proposition.

He always lies then tries to project what he's doing onto others. Like people aren't catching on to this ? He can't stop himself. He's a serial liar.
