Hours after the House delivered President Bidens first legislative victory by passing a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package on Wednesday, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) suddenly acted as though he did not vote against the plan last weekend alongside his fellow Republican senators and was swiftly dragged by Twitter users for it.
In a Wednesday afternoon tweet, Wicker touted that the passage of the COVID-19 relief plan in Congress will deliver targeted relief to independent restaurant operators that have struggled amid the pandemic.

(556 posts)They all voted against it and then they all took credit for it when it worked. And republican supporters are too fucking stupid to understand that.

(945 posts)Democrats tend to govern while repukes NEVER stop campaigning...EVER.
While DEMS are making policies, amendments, and legislating, republicans show up on Sunday shows and commercials with ads.
This is a MONUMENTAL legislative victory. DEMS need to make sure we don't disappear and move on to the next crisis without simultaneously making sure the American public is constantly reminded why they are getting assistance.
If not, the republicans will take credit, and by 2022, the American public will have forgotten all about this.
