Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tears into Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a new book, calling him an "enabler of some of the worst stuff" in Congress.

In the book by journalist Susan Page, excerpts of which were obtained by Punch Bowl News, Pelosi expresses her frustration with McConnell and blasts him for his refusal to allow the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda following her death last year.

Ginsburg did lie in state at the Capitol, becoming the first woman to do so, but she was in the Statuary Hall on the House side of the building. McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) did not attend the service.

"Mitch McConnell is not a force for good in our country,” Pelosi told Page. “He is an enabler of some of the worst stuff, and an instigator of some of it on his own.”

2. Enabler And Con Man

Massive tax cuts for the filthy rich........not a peep about running up the debt. Spending money to help everyday people and poor people he leads the whining about running up the debt.

He is so full of it.

5. No.

The Department of Transportation IG made a criminal referral to the DoJ last Fall regarding her actions, but it was swept under the rug. No word as to whether or not the current DoJ will do anything with it.
