“To the Republicans in the crowd, I say: take back your party, the Grand Old Party,” Pelosi said the annual gathering of U.S. mayors. “America needs a strong Republican Party, not a rubber stamp.”

Pelosi’s comments came on the 33rd day of the ongoing partial government shutdown, which became the longest in U.S. history almost two weeks ago.
