Mitch McConnell: No More Government Shutdowns

CNN’s Dana Bash extracted a promise from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell not to shut down the government ever again.

McConnell explained that Congress did have the responsibility to direct spending and warned that he would not just send a blank check to president Obama.

He told Bash that he was unaware of Sen. Marco Rubio’s suggestion to Breitbart News that the Senate use the budgetary process to defund President Obama’s proposed executive amnesty.

McConnell was adamant that he had no intention of shutting down the government.
