House speaker blamed the Senate majority leader for not allowing a vote on a bill passed by Congress extending background checks.
A visibly angry House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has told reporters Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was to blame for people dying, because he was getting in the way of approving legislation to curb gun violence.
McConnell says he would not put any gun legislation to the Senate unless President Donald Trump would sign it into law. Pelosi said:"We did our job. The Senate was supposed to come back, why don't you all get that straight? The Senate did not come back to pass the bill.I'm getting very angry about the silliness of these questions."Members had events all over the country to ask him to bring up the bill. Don't ask me what we haven't done. We have done it. And if you are annoyed with my impatience, it's because people are dying because Senator McConnell hasn't acted.
