PELOSI: "I don't want to carry over the droppings of this grotesque elephant into next presidency."

“I don’t want to carry over the droppings of this grotesque elephant into the next presidency. We’ve got to get something big, and we’ve got to get it done soon and we’ve got to get it done right.”

— Speaker Nancy Pelosi, quoted by the New York Times, on negotiating a new economic relief deal with the Trump administration.
