House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pointed blame at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for a delay in the passage of a new coronavirus economic relief bill by Congress after he repeatedly accused Democrats of holding the bill hostage.

“Mitch McConnell likes to say we delayed the bill. No, he delayed the bill,” Pelosi said Wednesday on MSNBC. “Two weeks ago, he came to the floor and said, “This is all we’re doing. Just the 250.” And Democrats were reunited, House and Senate. The Senate Democrats went to the floor and said, ‘No, no. … We have a better idea about hospitals and testing and more funds for all of the businesses, the lower — shall we say the unbankable small businesses.'”
