She carried on Tuesday morning, ripping lawmakers for “greed, avarice, self-aggrandizement and contempt for the vulnerable.”
The shutdown still was in effect early Tuesday afternoon, with the House and Senate at odds over a path forward — the House preferring a ‘conference committee’ with representatives of the Senate to smooth over differences between the two chambers, and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) insistent that the House take up and pass the ‘clean’ Senate-passed funding bill above all else.
