Mulvaney Scolds CNN’s Acosta: You Know as Well as Anybody It Takes 60 Votes in the Senate to Pass Appropriations

EXCERPT:

ACOSTA: “You said this was the Schumer shutdown. How can it be the Schumer shutdown when Republicans control the White House, the House, and the Senate?"
MULVANEY: “You know the answer to that as well as anybody. I laugh when people say that we control the House, Senate, White House so why can’t we get this done."
ACOSTA: "You do."
MULVANEY: "You know as well as anybody that it takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass appropriations. When you only have 51 votes in the Senate, then you have to have Democrat support in order to keep the government to fund the government. That’s the answer to your question.”
