It was the timing..... She could have simply announced the bill was ready for vote and asked for bipartisan support. Then, after it passed, gave the speech demonizing the Republicans, etc. etc.
A head up her butt move to say the least. She acted/sounded like she didn't want it to pass. And she's the leader....... soooo......
I watched her speech on C-Span and was pretty surprised. I had thought she supported the bill until that speech. Strange.
