Here's an actual headline / subhead on WaPo right now:

Democrats have proposed $100 billion for struggling renters. It may not be enough.
The plan was part of their $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill, which Republicans quickly rejected.

It goes on:

House Democrats included $100 billion for a national rental assistance program in their $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill this week.

Republicans quickly rejected the proposed legislation, and some tenant advocacy groups say $100 billion will not be enough.

That last 'and' sure is doing a lot of work, connecting two those completely unrelated items.

Would the Republicans not have "quickly rejected" it if the Dems had proposed more? OF COURSE NOT!

But, blame has been placed.
