Senate Debate on Bipartisan Law Enforcement Support Bills Led by Catherine Cortez Masto and Cory Booker

Published | Video Starts at 26:48

Why would we go along with a president who is violating our Constitution time and time again, when in the history of this body, Democrats and Republicans used to stand up for their turf. These could easily pass. Put a simple amendment that says, you know what? You can play games however you want, President Trump, but when it comes to resources for police officers, no games. Today. I stand and fight for the Constitution. I stand and fight against this president. And heck, yeah, I'm going to stand and fight for the police officers from the great state of New Jersey. (26:48–27:00)
