Mitch McConnell actually said...

"They`ve had plenty of time to execute the debt ceiling increase and have chosen not to do it. They need to do this. They have the time to do it. And the sooner they get about it, the better."

"Let me be crystal clear about this. Republicans are united in opposition to raising the debt ceiling. We will not support legislation that raises the debt limit."

"It must be raised. You must raise it alone. We won’t let you raise it alone."

"I implore them one more time not to play Russian Roulette with the American economy."
