Giuliani: GOP Risks Being Blamed for Default

Reuters reports:

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, weighing a second run for the White House, warned on Thursday that Republicans risked being blamed if the U.S. defaults on its debt.

Speaking in the seacoast town of Hampton, New Hampshire, Giuliani said a default could hurt the Republican Party for "10 years."

"We have to recognize as Republicans that we don't control the entire government. We control the House of Representatives. They (Democrats) control the Senate and the Presidency. We should not put the country into default," Giuliani said.
