House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday that Republicans are „trying to get away with murder“ with their policing legislation, as Senate Democrats signal they will soon block debate on the measure.
Following Pelosi’s comments, the National Republican Campaign Committee condemned the remarks and asked for an apology.
„Nancy Pelosi needs to immediately apologize to Republicans for her deplorable accusations,“ said NRCC Spokesman Michael McAdams in a statement.
Earlier on Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a letter saying the GOP bill is „not salvageable,“ ahead of a planned procedural vote on Wednesday.
