| 0:04.6 | because it was met with derision and ridicule by people across the political spectrum |
| 0:08.8 | and many journalists. In fact, the frequently asked questions that they published were taken down |
| 0:13.6 | and it generated a controversy. But now, Mitch McConnell is calling for a vote on the bill, |
