stimulus talks about senate
majority leader mitch mcconnell
later today.
joining us now, house speaker
nancy pelosi of california
great to have you on the show
with us.
>> speaker pelosi, we're going
to talk about that in a moment
let's begin by talking about
your dear friend john lewis.
his passing and, i think john
would say more importantly, the
voting rights act that you all
passed last year, that continues
to languish in the united states
senate
>> that would be the appropriate
way to honor john lewis is for
the senate to take up the voting
rights act and name it for john
lewis.
when we passed it before, we
were in the minority, but we
were able to write the bill and
john lewis was very much a part
of that.
and i remind that at that time
unanimous was in the senate.
we had, perhaps, around 400
votes in the house
very bipartisan.
we all walked down the steps of
the capitol together, that it
should be so difficult for them
to take up the voting rights act
is really hard for them...
