Then Pelosi showed up and declared the package not good enough while touting a number of demands that, at best, were only tangentially related to the coronavirus issue, which prompted Senate Democrats to essentially scuttle the whole thing on Sunday afternoon.
The Hill reported that, on Thursday, House Democrats held a conference call to discuss both the efforts in the Senate to construct a coronavirus fiscal relief package as well as ideas for a package of their own for the same alleged purpose.
Based on what was reportedly discussed during that call it was clear that House Democrats viewed the current moment as an opportunity worth seizing to try and push through some of their preferred policies.
"This is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision," the South Carolina Democrat reportedly told his fellow Democratic lawmakers during the conference call.
Getting back to Clyburn's comment and the report from The Hill, a number of proposals put forward by Democrats in that conference call were mentioned.
Clyburn himself suggested that the current crisis would be a great time to legislatively provide for 100 percent broadband internet coverage for the entirety of the United States.
Now, as potentially millions of workers are facing unemployment, tens of thousands of small and large businesses are on the brink, and the markets are in free-fall, Congress is at an utter standstill because Democrats like Clyburn and Pelosi wanted to take advantage of the "Opportunity" provided by coronavirus to push their partisan agenda on the American people.
