Durbin Slams Trump's Slush Fund For January 6 Insurrectionists & Trump Allies During Hearing

Published | Video Starts at 05:05

Why? Because President Trump claims to have lost. I'm sorry? President Trump lost the popular vote in Pennsylvania and was trying to overturn the results. Earlier this year, Mr. Benjamin Flowers filed a Supreme Court amicus brief supporting the president's constitutional attempt to limit birthright citizenship. This executive order by the president has been rejected by every judge who's considered it. Judge John Cunnar, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan, called it, quote, blatantly unconstitutional. (05:05–05:14)
