When it comes to partisan bills, each side has partisan arguments that emphasize their points. This is basically just a rebuttal to Republican arguments, not a fact-check.

Out of the 5 things that Dale focuses on, 4 are mostly true. The one that he claims is false is McConnell saying it applied to the South when it applied to 8 Southern States and Alaska (Really got him on that one).

But again, a lot of media fact-checkers think their job is to provide cover for Dem arguments and combat Republican arguments. That's how you end up with orgs like Politifact constantly rating spin from one side as false and spin from the other as true.
