RNC chair taking on Obama, the media and millions in debt

At the end of the interview, Priebus walked over to his desk and picked up a copy of the Capitol Hill newspaper, The Hill, while shaking his head at a recent story and lamenting “the stupidity of what we have to deal with.”

The headline said “Senate Rejects Ryan Plan” while in much smaller type said, “president’s budget also falters.” The Senate last week voted 97-0 against moving the president’s budget forward while also voting down the GOP House approved plan pushed by Ryan.

“OK, who controls the Senate? Democrats. Of course they’re going to reject the Ryan plan,” he said, suggesting the paper opted for a negative headline for Republicans instead of focusing on the failure to pass a procedural vote on the president’s budget.

“Donald Trump had it right,” Priebus commented, “when he said that the press is in love with President Obama.”
