'Grow A Spine': Elizabeth Warren Calls On GOP Senators To 'Stop Bowing Down To Their Pretend King'

Published | Video Starts at 04:54

That's like Republicans saying, let's cut a deal and that you're going to sell us a car today. And then a month from now, the Republicans come back and steal the wheels. Of course, Trump may not act, ask his Republican buddies to rescind spending. Maybe instead on his own, he'll just illegally refuse to spend it the way he's done with $425 billion already this year. Look, our founders didn't give the president the power to decide spending. A king can decide anything he wants, but not a president. (04:54–05:12)
