Democrats are debuting new messaging to gaslight the country to blame Republicans for delaying COVID relief after DEMOCRATS:
✅ Filibustered the CARES Act after bipartisan negotiations
✅ Held CARES hostage for Green New Deal nonsense
✅ Blocked Small Biz paychecks for 2 weeks

Lets go back even FURTHER though -- as @DanCrenshawTX pointed out, the administration first requested funding to fight COVID on 2/24.
Pelosi put that off to first vote on banning flavored tobacco -- her higher priority.

On Phase 3 (the CARES Act) McConnell convened large group -- 8 Republican Senators, 8 Democrat Senators, and representatives of the admin to negotiate a bill.
Chuck Schumer said he was "delighted" with the bipartisan cooperation of negotiations.

After days of negotiation McConnell had a bill text.
But then... Nancy Pelosi comes back to Washington (the House had been on vacation for over a week).
We all know what happened next -- Democrats filibustered Coronavirus relief. Twice.

Pelosi blocked CARES because it wasn't political enough. Clyburn had said COVID was an "opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision."

Pelosi felt like the pandemic was the right time for Carbon tax credits and forcing airlines to publish greenhouse gas emissions for every flight.
Even a former AOC aide chided Pelosi for trying to squeeze that in.

So in conclusion, it's quite shocking for Democrats to attempt to shift blame for delays on Coronavirus relief when there's a video of Nancy Pelosi *CONGRATULATING* Senate Democrats for blocking Coronavirus relief and causing millions of layoffs.
