Objection to Sen. Sanders

Published | Video Starts at 14:05

Oh, a quick aside. Senator Sanders is the Senator from Vermont is talking about we need the $600 plus up for for the unemployed because of the suffering. President Obama with Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid with filibuster proof Senate. They provided a $25 per week plus up to state unemployment when they had total control. Now they're demanding 600. I know that's not part of what the Senator for Vermont is asking for in terms of a unanimous consent request. I thought it's just somewhat noteworthy. (14:05–14:21)
