Jim McGovern: “80% of bipartisan amendments were blocked, 92% of Democratic…”

“What I have a problem with is with all the amendments that were blocked by this Republican majority. 362amendments were offered to this farm bill by Republicans and Democrats and 305 of those amendments were blocked. They were blocked. 80% of bipartisan amendments were blocked, 92% of Democratic amendments were blocked and 70% of Republican amendments were blocked. And my Republican friends, you know, I guess, are okay with having the majority leadership block their own amendments. I mean, it is ridiculous. This is an important bill.” (00:22–00:32)
