Nancy Pelosi: Republicans Just Want to 'Destroy' Everything

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D- Cal) unleashed all the House Minority Leader fury she could muster against Republicans yesterday.

The former Speaker of the House spoke to the liberal Think Progress, and shared her assessment that the debt ceiling fight for conservatives has nothing to do with the debt.

Summarizing her views on Republicans who believe a $13 trillion deficit is something to be concerned about, Pelosi said:

"It is about destroying government -- federal involvement in education. It's about lean air, clean water, food safety, public safety. You name it, they're there to diminish it. Destroy it."
