Private spat between McConnell and Pelosi regarding RBG's memorial at Capitol highlighted in new book
CNN
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has never kept quiet about her distaste for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, but an anecdote from an upcoming book reveals details of a disagreement over the placement of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's remains when they arrived on Capitol Hill for a memorial service.
Pelosi told USA Today's Susan Page, in her upcoming book "Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power," that the two disagreed about a proposal from Pelosi to have Ginsburg lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda, which would have made her the first woman in history to be given such an honor. Page writes that McConnell said no, and argued there was no precedent of a justice lying in state in the Rotunda, according to excerpts obtained by CNN.More Related News
