Nancy Pelosi: Mick Mulvaney has ‘no credibility’ on debt ceiling fight

Published



House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday hit back at acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney for suggesting her position on spending caps and the debt ceiling had shifted as Trump administration officials and congressional leaders from both parties try to reach a budget deal.

“Do we have to waste time on Mick Mulvaney’s characterization of my remarks?” the California Democrat asked reporters on Capitol Hill. “We will never question the full faith and credit of the United States of America. It’s in the Constitution of the United States. Mulvaney is one of the people who shut down government because they didn’t want to lift the debt ceiling and so he has no credibility on the subject what’s so ever.”
