Harry Reid Warns Boehner Get Some Courage because, ‘We’re not going to be extorted.’

Sen. Harry Reid slammed John Boehner and warned him that the Senate is (NOT) going to be extorted. He told Boehner to get some courage and pass the Senate bill, or the government will shutdown.

Reid said,

The bill we just passed. The bill would pass the House overwhelmingly if the Speaker had the courage to bring it to the floor and let 435 members of the House of Representatives vote. I think they should think very carefully this weekend about their next step. Any bill that continues to play political games would force a government shutdown. They need to accept what we just passed. To be absolutely clear, we are going to accept nothing as it relates to Obamacare. There’s a time and place for everything, and this is not that time or place.

….

We’re not going to be extorted. The country’s not going to be extorted. We’re not going to negotiate with a gun to our heads. We are not going to allow the Republicans to say give us what we want or the economy is going to close. Think about that. It’s no way to govern, and it has to end.
