have two democrats in the senate that masquerade as republicans, i'm talking about joe manchin and kristeninema. the fact is that democrats do not deal with their members who refused to be in lockstep in the same way that republicans do. i think that at this moment when we are seeing all of our rights berated, the question to chuck schumer in the senate, is it time to get rid of joe manchin and kristen sinema's committee assignments. is it time to censure them? it's a time to fight fire with fire and recognize that we are at a critical moment, a critical juncture in our country right now. allowing kristen sinema and joe manchin to hold the senate hostage because they believe in this idealistic version of the filibuster which is a racist obstruction to begin with is ridiculous. and then you have nine people who the american people did not vote for. they are in a lifetime appointments who get to decide our feet with the ideology and with the weaponizing of the court. i think we need more radical steps to be taken. >> mark, wyoming's gop primary debate is going viral from last night. let's ta
