Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have spent months refusing to budge on COVID-19 relief.

Here is a thread to refresh your memory

🧵
It started when Democrats introduced their $3 trillion dollar HEROES Act in May, which included a bailout for the post office, a tax break for wealthy people in blue states, made illegal aliens eligible for stimulus, and mentioned "cannabis" 68 times

As a counter-offer to the HEROES Act, Republicans attempted to negotiate on four different coronavirus stimulus deals over the summer.

Democrats rejected every single one.

At the beginning of September, Senate Democrats blocked a Republican bill that included a federal unemployment benefit, Paycheck Protection Program funding, and additional money for more coronavirus testing.

Democrats blocked a similar $500 billion relief bill from the Republicans in October
dailycaller.com/2020/10/21/sen…
President Trump tweeted in early October he would sign a stand alone bill for an additional round of COVID-19 stimulus checks.

Why did nothing ever come of that?
November 19th marked the 40th time the majority party has blocked a package of GOP stimulus bills from passing the chamber.

Finally, Nancy Pelosi said today she would be willing to do a smaller covid-19 relief bill after months of refusing to budge on anything except for the liberal wishlist in the HEROES Act
Hope it was worth it @SpeakerPelosi
