NYT Spins Headlines to Cover Dems Blocking COVID-19 Aid Bill

Democrats blocked a bill to provide Americans with an economic stimulus to weather the harm to the economy the Wuhan coronavirus quarantines have wrought.

Democrat senators had reportedly worked on it with Republicans all weekend, had it ready to go, when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi allegedly stepped in and quashed the deal.

Why? Because the woman who so successfully shepherded the impeachment fiasco may be trying a little more gamesmanship. Too bad, American people or the American economy, if you lose in the process. Democrats are playing their petty little power games again.

The Chief of Staff and Communications Director for Rep. Mark Meadows, Ben Williamson:
Senate spends all weekend negotiating a bipartisan deal. Agreement reached. Pelosi flies in from California, whips out her unrelated “wishlist,” and says no. Senate Democrats then vote against proceeding on a bill they negotiated.

Because if they drag it out a little longer, they can do in some more businesses, cost people more jobs and that might hurt President Donald Trump, so it can be his “Katrina.” This is just despicable.

But apparently Americans who read the New York Times aren’t supposed to really understand what went down, at least not if you check how the headline on the story about the Democrats blocking the stimulus package has changed.

The damage the Dems do can't be forgotten. This latest smack in America's face will hurt them in the fall. They can't foist their decision off as the President's, but they'll try.

Anybody that votes for a sleazy democrat this coming election is incapable of thinking for themselves.

Majority in the Senate was on board to pass this legislation. Pelosi interfered at the last minute to persuade some Dems to vote against so that more items and more funding could be included.
