Al Franken: We must be as ruthless as McCONhell

That is, if we want to win elections and ever get anything done. He said: 

"But we have to start being as ruthless as him [McConnel]. For example, the Freedom to Vote Act which was negotiated by Amy Klobuchar and Joe Manchin and others is a great bill but we need to pass it. [...] We have to be stone-cold killers [metaphorically] on the voting rights. This is an existential threat to our democracy. We lose our democracy, it's we lose everything. So we have to pass this bill and you can carve out and say, for you know elections, this is our democracy. We can carve that out and pass it with 51 votes or you can do what I'm talking about which would restore the filibuster to what it was which was something that was rare when a minority cared about something."
