Sen. Hertel Speaks Against Political Resolution

Published | Video Starts at 01:21

They don't sit on the floor of this body and have resolutions to denounce people. They actually roll up their sleeves, figure out problems and work together. So just a little bit of irony there.

And in fact, many of the recommendations that were made by experts in the field have still not been taken up. (01:21–01:32)

CLAIM
