Pelosi Blames GOP ‘Fringe Element’ for Boehner Resignation

"Some would say party is being hijacked by fringe element in the House Republican Party, and we're seeing evidence of that now. But you know what? That's here. What's important is what we do for the American people across the country. And what we must do, is keep government open, and remove all doubt in anyone's mind  that the ideology of an extreme element of the Republican Party is not going to dominate how our country meets the needs of the American people. And they're not going to sacrifice the lives and health of -- of women by shutting down government with the excuse that it's about Planned Parenthood. For them, any excuse will do."
