House Speaker Nancy Pelosi allegedly slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for his role in American politics, The Hill reported.
Pelosi reportedly made the comments to Susan Page, the author of the forthcoming autobiography on Pelosi, Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power.
"Mitch McConnell is not a force for good in our country,” she told Page during the writing of the work.
“He is an enabler of some of the worst stuff, and an instigator of some of it on his own.”
According to the book, Pelosi and McConnell clashed after the death of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Notably, Pelosi wanted Ginsburg to lie in state n the Capitol Rotunda — which she later did — but McConnell opposed the idea.
"McConnell rejected the idea on the grounds that there was no precedent for such treatment of a justice."
"He wasn’t swayed by the argument that Ginsburg had achieved an iconic status in American culture, especially for women and girls," the book claimed.
As noted by The Hill, Ginsburg became the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol.
