House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday suggested she will blow up the bipartisan infrastructure bill if the Senate does not also pass a reconciliation bill. When asked how she is trying to quell the concerns of the progressive members of her caucus, the 81-year-old California Democrat essentially said she is willing to blow up the deal if their demands are not met, demanding a reconciliation bill to pass Democrat agenda items without the threat of a GOP filibuster. “It’s as I said. There won’t be an infrastructure bill unless we have a reconciliation bill, plain and simple.… There ain’t going to be an infrastructure bill unless we have the reconciliation bill passed by the United States Senate,” she said, with her remarks garnering approval from far-left Rep.
