FROM DAILY CALLER: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could not back up her claim on Wednesday that the Republicans’ continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government is not “clean.”
The Democrats have repeatedly denied that the Republicans passed a “clean CR,” which is a temporary spending bill to fund the government at existing spending levels. During an appearance on “Inside Politics,” Pelosi did not specify how the legislation does not fit the definition of being a “clean CR.”
“First of all, it isn’t a clean CR,” Pelosi said, prompting CNN host Dana Bash to ask how it is not clean. “It’s not a clean CR, there’s no reason to go into that.”
Pelosi went on: “The point is Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, all of that are now being asked ‘reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich.’ We’re not doing it. And it isn’t a question of well let’s come back together so we can discuss it. That isn’t going to happen. They had that chance. Now they just have to open government with it as a stipulation.”
