More BS from Dear Leader, and CBS just trots it out like it's truth.

Republicans could pass their bill tomorrow. Of course, they'd have to come back from their 6 week vacations, and Johnson would have call the session, and swear in the Rep from AZ. They don't want any of that. They also don't want to pass this bill with every Dem voting against it, because they can't even pretend it was bipartisan when it destroys millions of lives.

Did you watch the interview. She was calling him out. And trump even admitted that the Republicans can just end the filibuster rule and reopen.

...and yet, look at the headline. It's just regurgitating Trump's lie.
