REP. MORAN: THE GOP IS THE ‘KNOW-NOTHING PARTY;’ ‘THEY JUST DON’T KNOW, THEY DON’T CARE’


From Think Progress

 Speaking with ThinkProgress today, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) offered a take on the reasons behind House Republicans’ obstinacy on the debt ceiling. Describing it as the “the party of denial,” Moran compared the current GOP to the historical, nativist “Know-Nothing party” that, incidentally, wanted to restrict types of immigrants and have daily bible readings in public schools. Moran said Republicans “don’t know enough to know what they don’t know,” including “how serious lifting the debt ceiling it,” or “the results of any of their own actions.” “They just don’t know, they don’t care,” Moran said, adding that “a majority of the House Republicans ran on the basis that government doesn’t work. And now that they’re elected they’re determined to prove it.” Watch it:

MCL Comment: I've been warning liberals you better vote because we don't know what the Republicans will do if they get  both or either chamber of congress back. Now we're seeing the Republicans are not only willingly to crash not our economy by defaulting but the global economy just so they can take back the senate and the presidency.
