Pelosi: House Floor a ‘Mess’

[jwp-video n=”1″]

As House GOP leaders scrambled to whip votes on a border supplemental bill Thursday, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the closing hours before the August recess a “mess” on the House floor. “The Republicans do not have time to raise the minimum wage, but they have time to sue the president of the United States. They do not have money to feed the children, help the American people, but they want a blank check to sue the president,” Pelosi said at her Thursday news conference. “They’ve lost moral standing in what’s happening on the border, and they have no standing in suing the president.” Earlier, chaos reigned as the House GOP leaders’ carefully crafted gambit to win conservative votes fell apart before calling a 3 p.m. meeting to discuss emergency funding to address the child migrant crisis.
