Whereas her’s would have been clearly labelled the “we effed everything up Congress.”
(The Hill) — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lambasted Republicans for leading a “do-nothing Congress” as the first year of their House majority draws to a close.
“It can clearly be labeled the Republican do-nothing Congress. It’s a year of missed opportunities and made-up crises,” Pelosi said in a press conference Friday, which she hoped would be her last for the year.
Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), responded: “The current ‘crisis’ was entirely manufactured by the Democrats who run Washington, and everyone knows that.”
Pelosi, who lost the Speaker’s gavel nearly a year ago, criticized the House GOP for not focusing on jobs and for ginning up crises that nearly shut down the federal government and caused a national default.
