Adam Schiff: if voting rights bill doesn't pass, Republicans will rule for the next 10+ years

He said passing the For The People voting rights bill (which requires killing the filibuster) is a “break glass moment”.

He said it must be done this year, and waiting until 2022 will be too late.

Just now on Chris Hayes.
