Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that it was President Joe Biden’s “patriotic duty” to use the 14th Amendment to address the debt ceiling.
Wagner asked, “I do have to ask, looking at the bonkers nature of the Republican conference, how you’re looking at this debt ceiling negotiations? A lot of people are saying, this conference has so wacko, so uninterested actual governance, why should the president of the United States be bargaining with their representative, Kevin McCarthy, directly? Why should he make any concessions to people who did not have the interest of American voters and heart. Why doesn’t use the 14th Amendment? Why doesn’t he use anything, something, but don’t negotiate with terrorists.”
Khanna said, “He should.”
Wagner asked, “He should what?”
Khanna said, “Use the 14th Amendment…”
