Barbara Boxer: “This is insane. It is just a joke. And it costs a billion dollars.”

Senator Boxer is here talking about whether it’s really time to take the obstruction filibuster away from Mitch McConnell.

We Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is true, they’re getting older.

This is a sad moment, we always had two parties, one was to the right of center, one was to the left of center, and we never had a party, so extreme and so willing to become the party of grievance and anger and division.

Frankly, anyone who runs on that as an issue should be defeated, overwhelmingly by everybody.
