The View co-host Sunny Hostin said to him that “more Americans on both sides of the aisle” are “blaming Republicans.” Then, she said that Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, also “blamed the GOP.”
She continued, “Why give in now? Why bring a butter knife to a gun fight? Are you willing to gamble that the GOP will negotiate in good faith once the government reopens, because if that gamble is wrong, half a million Pennsylvanians that you represent, their healthcare costs will skyrocket if you’re wrong? And I believe you are wrong.”
He responded, “Well, first of all, Marjorie Taylor Greene is quite literally the last person in America that I’m going to take advice to get my leadership and values from. If Democrats are celebrating crazypants like that, that’s on them. I don’t need a lecture. I don’t need lecture from, whether it’s Bernie [Sanders] or the governor in California, because they’re representing very deep blue populations and a lot of those things were part of the extreme.”
“Why have we arrived here after the election a year ago? We want to forget some of the things that cost us that election, and now, for me, that’s why I’m trying to remind people, the extremism, we can’t return to those kind of things, and realize we need to find a way forward,” he added.
