Please spread this video all over social media: Claire McCaskill standing up for military families,
with a resolution calling for military paychecks to CONTINUE over the shutdown -- and Mitch McConnell instantly shooting it down.
Lawrence O'Donnell explained tonight that McCaskill's request for a unanimous resolution made history, since it was offered by an ordinary member of the Senate, not the majority leader. It wasn't against the rules, but it was against tradition. And O'Donnell says it had obviously been planned in advance by Schumer and the Democrats.
Hours later, DT and the R's were pretending that the Democrats who voted against the budget extension were voting against the interest of military families. That was a blatant lie -- the Democrats, led by Claire McCaskill, were prepared to unanimously approve the resolution. McConnell, on behalf of the R's, entered his objection and blocked it with his vote.
The D's supported military families no matter what. The R's took them hostage in their fight against the Dreamers.
