Republicans complaining that last years Covid bills were bipartisan

While this wasn’t.....it’s because Democrats actually try to govern and don’t care about who got the credit for helping the American people while Republicans decided to make it political...if this same bill was supported by trump last year, then the vast majority of Democrats would have still voted for it, the difference is half of Republicans in the Senate and House would have voted for it, too...so it’s easy for them to claim bipartisanship.....this is similar to Trump getting credit for criminal justice reform and then Obama getting blamed for not getting it done, it’s because Democrats were on board regardless of who was President but Republicans weren’t, but as soon as it was a Republican president then all of a sudden Republican members of Congress supported it
