Rep Alan Grayson: GOP Using Debt Ceiling Fight As 'Legislative Terrorism'

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) paid a visit to Al Sharpton on MSNBC on Thursday night, criticizing Republicans for their opportunistic approach to the debt ceiling and cuts to government spending. The GOP is using it as "legislative terrorism" to "extract concessions" they wouldn't otherwise be able to accomplish. Sharpton pointed to remarks Paul Ryan made in 2011, wherein he said "you can't not raise the debt ceiling." He went on to also play remarks from Sen. Lindsey Graham and House Speaker John Boehner, both of whom described the calamitous effects of not raising the debt ceiling and defaulting.
