House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) while pulling out the “Moscow Mitch” nickname.
Pelosi took aim at McConnell during a Democratic County Chairs’ Association brunch in Illinois on Wednesday in Illinois, blasting him for blocking legislation in the Senate that has the support of the Democrat-led House of Representatives.
“We’ve sent our legislation to the Senate,” Pelosi said Wednesday of House Dems’ priorities.
