San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after House Republicans sabotaged the passage of a bipartisan disaster relief bill already agreed to by the Senate, their third act of obstruction in the past week:

“This is staggering. House Republicans have once again heartlessly sabotaged the passage of an urgently-needed, bipartisan bill to bring relief to millions of families across America devastated by natural disasters.

“Every day that House Republicans obstruct and delay, more American families are left to suffer. This sabotage is unconscionable, dangerous and must stop.”
