After taking back the White House at the start of this year, the first item on Democrats' agenda was to pass the American Rescue Plan—a long-awaited pandemic relief package that provided survival funds for small businesses, preserved expanded unemployment benefits, and delivered $1400 stimulus checks to hundreds of millions of Americans.
Despite the widespread popularity of these proposals, Republicans smeared the legislation as a socialist wish list and a Trojan horse for Democrats to secretly permit special projects for their own districts.

Not a single Republican in the House or the Senate supported the bill.
But with stimulus checks delivered and businesses steadily reopening, these same Republicans are touting the bill's provisions, and taking the credit.

In a Thursday speech at Coyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio, President Joe Biden reminded people that Republicans were taking credit for a bill they voted against—and he literally brought receipts.
Biden said:
"Even my Republican friends in Congress, not a single one of them voted for the Rescue Plan. I'm not gonna embarrass anyone, but I have here a list of how, back in their districts, they're bragging about the Rescue Plan. They touted the restaurant revitalization fund. They touted...grants to community healthcare centers. I mean, some people have no shame."
Attendees erupted in laughter after Biden brandished the list of Republicans
