McConnell: Dems Will Be Party-Line Owners Of Debt Limit Raising

Craig Caplan at C-SPAN tweets thread on Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)'s comments on the looming debt ceiling expiry:

• McConnell on debt limit: "(Democrats) have every procedural tool they need to promptly advance a separate, stand-alone piece of legislation addressing the debt limit w.o a single Republican vote...It is laughable to hear some Democrats claiming they simply don't have enough time."
• McConnell after explaining on Senate floor how a standalone debt limit increase reconciliation bill could pass: "This won't be a multi-week process. Probably about a week of the Senate's time or a little more. And they don't have to wait on their reckless taxing & spending spree."
• McConnell: "I understand our Democratic colleagues may feel inconvenienced. I understand this may slightly delay their partisan bill. But that is a complaint, not an excuse." McConnell: "We have a unified Democrat government that has decided to govern alone. They cannot put partisan ambitions ahead of basic duties. The party-line authors of this reckless taxing and spending spree will be the party-line owners of raising the debt limit."
