At a press conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized Senate Minority Chuck Schumer’s decision to join Republicans in the most recent federal closure argument.
Pelosi claimed that the Brooklyn Democrat made increased concessions to Democrats when voting for the GOP-crafted federal funding costs despite affirming her trust in Schumer’s command of the Senate Democratic caucus. Pelosi said,” I myself don’t offer away something for nothing.” ” I believe that’s what occurred the other day,” she said.
In her remarks, she continued as she discussed a Democratic plan for a 30-day expansion of existing government wasting during longer-term discussions, as reported by the New York Post.” We may have, in my opinion, maybe gotten Republican Republicans to agree to a third way.
Pelosi claimed that the plan would have shown that Republicans were accountable for any stoppage even if they had rejected it. Senate Democrats were instructed by her to support Schumer and reject the saving bill’s six-month vote. ” Donald Trump and Elon Musk have made a fake decision between a government shutdown and a blank check that would be a devastating abuse on the well-being of working people across America,” Pelosi said. She continued,” T]his false choice that some are buying rather than fighting is unacceptable.”
Schumer defended his decision on” The View,” claiming a shutdown would have caused unheard of destruction. He defended his decision to end the ongoing resolution debate as a leader really, despite the difficulty of his choice.
Despite criticizing Schumer, Pelosi indicated that she was ready to move ahead. Instead of dwelling on past experiences, she expressed concern for upcoming occasions. ” The next time is worrying me. The California Democrat said,” I’m worried about the future.” ” What happened last week was next year,” the saying goes. We’re heading into the future.
