Rep. Lee On TX Abortion Law: We're Going To Do Something In Congress Very Quickly - MSNBC



Co-chair of the Congressional Pro-choice Caucus, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), joined Hallie Jackson to discuss Texas' new, controversial abortion law, and what Congress can do to strengthen Roe v. Wade as other states weigh similar legislation. She says the law is "fundamentally anti-democratic" and "anti-American." Aired on 09/06/2021.

You know I'm listening to Mary Trump's new book and she noted the fact that Joe Manchin was the lone Democrat to vote to confirm Jeff Sessions. There really is little hope for him after that.

He’s definitely our cross to bear, but he’ll come around on the reconciliation bill, though Biden and Schumer really need to have a “talk” with him about a filibuster carve out for a couple of crucial bills like voting rights and abortion protection.

It doesn't have to make sense or be of help for Americans and the country, they will oppose absolutely anything that Biden and the Democrats support.
