Speaker Pelosi Says GOP Have Constitutional Obligation to Hold Steve Bannon in Contempt

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says it's important for Republicans to join Democrats in holding Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for failing to testify because they took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution and that they have an obligation to protect the system of checks and balances enshrined in the Constitution. "If in fact you want to negate the ability of one check of another branch of government over another then you are undermining the Constitution. So this goes beyond Bannon in terms of its importance," she says. close
