MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell threw cold water on House Speaker John Boehner’s “inaccurate” assertion that presidents have used the nation’s debt limit as a bargaining chip throughout the years.
Boehner recently said, “Every president in modern history has negotiated over a debt limit. Debt limits have been used to force big policy changes in Washington.”
O’Donnell pointed out in his Rewrite segment on Monday that “raising the debt ceiling was never difficult before John Boehner’s House of Representatives.”
“There is exactly one Speaker of the House in modern history who has seriously tried to negotiate over a debt limit…that Speaker of the House is not speaking the truth about the debt ceiling.” said O’Donnell.
