Chaffetz: It’s ‘Wrong’ To Suggest D.C. Dysfunction ‘Is All on the House Republicans’

‘When they talk about the dysfunction in Washington, D.C., they’re also talking about President Obama and they’re also talking about the United States Senate’

RADDATZ: "Mr. Chairman, I want to go back to the beginning. You said that was a very dramatic description. It was very dramatic this week. Americans do look at Congress and say, what's going on? So whether you elect a Speaker right away or not, what do you think the long-term effects of this will be on the Hill and also on 2016?"
CHAFFETZ: "Look, the American people swept us into power because they wanted results. And we got to take that fight to the Senate. We got to take that fight to the president. And they haven't seen the results. Again, passing bills out of the House is one step. But we actually have to get those bills on to the president's desk because they don't like the current trajectory. To suggest it's all on the House Republicans, it's wrong. When they talk about the dysfunction in Washington, D.C., they're also talking about President Obama and they're also talking about the United States Senate."
