Mike Levin: “I spoke earlier and I wasn't going to speak again so others could, but listening to the Republicans here, I felt…”

“I spoke earlier and I wasn't going to speak again so others could, but listening to the Republicans here, I felt compelled to come over. In all my years here, this is the height of hypocrisy. You have sat here year after year failing to raise the minimum wage, refusing to come here and sign a discharge petition, doing nothing. And now, because you are worried you are going to lose an election, you are here. And you tie it to a proposal that will give the very, very wealthy many more times than would be benefiting the workers with a rise in the minimum wage. If you really cared, you would have acted long ago. This isn't on your part even an election-year conversion. It is an election-year trick. It won't work.”
