So I've seen left-wing and media Twitter repeatedly respond to Salazar's tweet with this, mostly because they are ignorant about most of the stuff they tweet about.
The bill Salazar is talking about had nothing to do with the $1.9 trillion dollar package that was just passed.

Salazar had proposed to extend the repayment time for Covid-19 related EIDL loans by one year. The SBA just announced they would do exactly that as a matter of policy.
It was an administrative change, not a legislative one.

That's putting aside a discussion over whether one can support/push provisions within a bill while opposing the final bill. But just check how many blue checks responded ignorantly suggesting this was about the recent package.
All the usual suspects.

I'm not even including the dozens of partisan Democrats, including the DNC chair, making this dishonest claim. These are alleged media members that couldn't bother to click the link before trying to dunk on this Republican Congresswoman. Now their lie has been widely spread.
And it's rather clear this was based simply on them seeing "Covid relief" and thus assuming it was about the bill that just passed. Even her tweet says "as part of @SBAgov policy," but they couldn't resist the attempted dunk for 2 seconds to check.
