According to Politico, which cited three sources on this call, the conversation was a fiery one.
Democratic Representative Peter DeFazio from Oregon, who participated in the phone call, seemed he was okay with the fact that the talks were limping along.
He stated that the best thing would be if the whole process fell apart.
Democratic Representative Salud Carbajal from California said for Politico that he was part of the call and that the whole process seemed like nonsense.
