Description

The secret Senate bill to "repeal and replace" Obamacare was as sinister as the MOMocrats expected, especially when it comes to women's healthcare (and what would you expect when it was crafted behind closed doors by 13 men without any input from their female colleagues?) It didn't take long for Mitch McConnell to realize that he would not get the votes he needed to pass it with just his slight Republican majority.The phone calls and demonstrations in Senators' offices were an early indication that the bill in its current form would not get to the Senate floor (there is something really distressing at images of people in wheelchairs being handcuffed and carried away). But McConnell is a wily old master of the political dark arts, and we can be sure this evil bill will be back. MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills will also talk about the Philando Castile case where the officer was acquitted even after the jury saw the devastating dashcam video - and this week's indictiment of the three Chicago officers who shot young Laquan MacDonald 16 times in the back and tried to spin it as self-defense (that video was already released, and it's devastating).An Engender Media Group production.
