Republican presidential contender Nikki Haley says she told lawmakers that a US government shutdown would be “irresponsible and inexcusable” — even as she urged her party to rein in spending.
“I’ve talked to all of Congress saying it is irresponsible and inexcusable that you would let government shut down. It is also irresponsible and inexcusable to not cut all of the spending,” Haley said Monday in an interview on Bloomberg Television.
“Taxpayers already can’t afford groceries and gas, they can’t afford buying a home or buying a car and now you’re gonna say, ‘oh, we can’t figure it out, we’re gonna shut down government,’ that’s not OK,” Haley said in the interview at the American Energy Security summit in Oklahoma. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is seeking to convince hardline Republicans to support a stopgap measure and avoid a shutdown this weekend, while also addressing their demands to cut spending in longer-term funding bills.Haley said she hadn’t spoke to House leadership as she criticized Congress.
