Subject: Re: Harris isn't really black?
Trump had been working against this specific bill for weeks. He "weighed in" long before Monday. It's false to say he didn't "weigh in" until then.

He (Romney) was complaining about that (the soon-to-be convict's rhetoric against the bill) on or before Jan 25th, based on the date of this byline. I didn't need to go further back since this already blows up Dope's timeline.

Johnson didn't say it was a "non-starter" until the 31st (at least that's the earliest reference I can find), and the text of the bill wasn't actually available outside the bipartisan committee drafting it until Feb 4th. So neither the convict nor Johnson knew what was in it before the 4th.

The bill failed in the Senate on Feb 7th. Note that some Dems opposed it (as you say, the base didn't like it), and almost all of the Reps (mostly because of Johnson had said it wouldn't come to the floor, so the Rep senators didn't want to be on record supporting it).

Dope's memory is distorted. Which all us humans do**. That's why archival news stories are so useful. You can check the timeline based on when news articles were published. Like I did this morning for this discussion.

I missed the bit about the convict campaigning for months against it. Didn't know that. But the news article dates clearly show Johnson's refusal comes after the convict's comments by a few days (at least). So you pwned him. :-)
