...it's amazing that people here don't have a clue about how bipartisan legislation advances Democratic initiatives and principles, supposing like they've just arrived in the political arena that contradicting a republican crashing an event and trying to usurp Democratic credit is some kind of cover for them.

It's only possible if you take Seder at his word that this happened. It's contradicted in EVERY other news report of the event, most of whom acknowledge in some way that Lutnick is full of it.
