Jim Renacci: Pelosi Has To Be ‘Cautious’ About Her Left Flank When Passing Funding for the Wall

‘This deal would have been done already if it wasn’t for Nancy Pelosi needing the 218 because we are talking about a small amount’

EXCERPT:

RENACCI: "Right now we are in political decisions, again, which is always so frustrating. The difference between 1.3 and 5 is so small when we think we spend $4 trillion a year. So again, I think this has become a political issue. Nancy Pelosi has to worry about getting the 2018, she has to try to make sure that her left flank is with her so she’s got to be a little bit cautious. I have to tell you, if it wasn’t for that, this deal would be done already. We would be home. I mean, that’s the other problem I have always had. We move too quickly just to get to Christmas break instead of moving at a pace to get things accomplished. But this deal would have been done already if it wasn’t for Nancy Pelosi needing the 218, because we are talking about a small amount."
