Democrat Talks In Circles Explaining Why Dems Don’t Use Leverage Like Republicans

During a recent taping of Rising, host Briahna Joy Gray asked Democratic House member Ro Khanna if he regretted not using a #ForceTheVote strategy to win concessions from Nancy Pelosi in the same manner hardline House Republicans are currently doing. Khanna’s response was a picture perfect exercise in doublespeak, avoiding the question and circular reasoning. Guest host Aaron Maté speaks with Gray and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger about the weak defense so-called progressive Democrats offer for not using their leverage to win concessions from Nancy Pelosi for their Speaker vote.
