Engel went through a competitive nomination fight in 2000, but he was routinely reelected over the following 18 years. In 2018, Engel turned back a self-funding opponent by a wide 74-16 margin, and he became chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee the following year after his party returned to the majority.

Those same Republicans are being remarkably quiet today about Obamacare. It was a daily subject for them from when negotiations on the bill began in 2009 until the 2018 election.

No matter how many times it’s made clear, politicians don’t seem to get the delayed connection between actions taken to address COVID-19 and the people lining up for hospital beds.
