2016: fine with the concept
2020: not fine with the concept.
I'm not sure such a simple statement of fact is particularly controversial. And recognizing it seems to be the opposite of obtuse.

2016: fine with the concept because that was the rule/norm at the time
2016: Republicans change the rule/norm
2020: not fine with the concept because apparently it is no longer the rule/norm.
It is not a simple statement of fact because it leaves out the most important fact relevant to the entire discussion.
