    I wonder how her hair would fare in a blizzard?



  2. Richard Tibbitts on December 18, 2022 at 2:41 am

    Gosar and Cruz…what a couple of buffoons!



  3. Yashi Stampedes on December 18, 2022 at 2:43 am

    should have passed fed voting rights act too!!



  4. Austin 7thGen Texan on December 18, 2022 at 2:43 am

    How embarrassing for Texas.
    Ted Cruz is a pandering moron, and an embarrassment to our state.
    🤷‍♂️



  5. Randi Bagley-Goodwin on December 18, 2022 at 2:44 am

    Every last one of those republiCONS should be brought up on charges and be disqualified from ever running for any elected office.



  6. Randee Hughes on December 18, 2022 at 2:45 am

    Piece of crap Cruz and Gozer!



  7. Mellow on December 18, 2022 at 2:46 am

    Amazing this hasn’t gotten far more coverage. I really don’t understand the priorities of today’s media.



  8. Amelia Benson on December 18, 2022 at 2:47 am

    Democrats seems to be for honesty,Republicans as usual are still for corruption.



  9. A P on December 18, 2022 at 2:47 am

    Treasonous pieces of garbage



  10. Will Storm on December 18, 2022 at 2:50 am

    How quickly can this reform be in place and can this be impossible to strike down ? Voting and democracy is under threat from domestic terrorists and they are prepared to burn it all down for a dictator.



  11. Mark MacDonald on December 18, 2022 at 2:51 am

    She says it’s surprising to see Mitch McConnell’s name on there or Chuck grassley well first of all I’d like to point out the Chuck grassley is like what 90 how many more times do you think he’s going to run for office Mitch McConnell’s in his late 70s early 80s and he’s openly said that this is probably be his last term as a senator so it’s not like they have anything to lose from securing democracy at this point



  12. US-Bahn on December 18, 2022 at 2:54 am

    Great work.



  13. James Carter on December 18, 2022 at 2:54 am

    It is all meaningless unless the Electoral College is dumped as well. Democracy is a majority rule style of governing.



  14. john bannister on December 18, 2022 at 2:54 am

    "short timelines". Obvious to anyone who is awake, but the dems have clearly been asleep, letting the majority slip out of their hands. The US will get what it deserves, then.



  15. Meout Thispiece on December 18, 2022 at 2:55 am

    Senator Cruz hmm hmm hmm would you just look at him



  16. Peter Kurg on December 18, 2022 at 2:55 am

    So we know who the traitors are – now lock them up and then send them to their paymaster in ruzzia



  17. JUST BRIAN on December 18, 2022 at 2:55 am

    This is what propaganda news & a government against its own citizens looks like



  18. David Davirgi on December 18, 2022 at 2:56 am

    Gosar and Cruz..FAKE ELECTORS!



  19. karmakazi219 on December 18, 2022 at 2:57 am

    "For what purpose does the gentleman from Arizona rise?"
    "I rise because I’ve sharted myself. Ted Cruz is here next to me. He can verify that I have officially sharted my pants."



  20. an645 on December 18, 2022 at 2:57 am

    Shame Shame Shame on all these traitors.



  21. Diane Bannister on December 18, 2022 at 2:58 am

    I’m very happy to hear of this bill and that it’s bi-partisan. I appreciate Senator Klobuchar’s work and all those who co-sponsored the bill to insure our electoral count works more smoothly and in a fair way on certification day.



  22. Meout Thispiece on December 18, 2022 at 2:59 am

    Just disgusting



  23. rjsiko on December 18, 2022 at 2:59 am

    There is short window, yeah, your lame duck window.



  24. Kerry on December 18, 2022 at 3:01 am

    Nazis racists bigots =freedom caucus



  25. Angeline Graves on December 18, 2022 at 3:08 am

    In hindsight so clear the path. Holy moly. Accountability!!😡☝️☝️



  26. Yvon Croteau on December 18, 2022 at 3:09 am

    Really it is a dishonor to have these peoples in the house and member. Minus guy and traitors.



  27. E Randco on December 18, 2022 at 3:09 am

    The whole government is a disgrace. Make you wonder if we should have one at all.



  28. Sharon Wilbourne on December 18, 2022 at 3:09 am

    Why is this so last minute? They have had almost two years to resolve these issues. Eliminating this old law, protecting ballot integrity, and protecting our right to vote should have been a priority for both Houses of Congress right after 1/6/21.



  29. JR BM on December 18, 2022 at 3:10 am

    Traitors to the country should be punished how are they still allowed to serve in congress know fully well that the election was not stolen



  30. Landon on December 18, 2022 at 3:12 am

    Republicans are criminals! It’s right there in front of you!



  31. Angeline Graves on December 18, 2022 at 3:12 am

    Omg get rid of MR CANCUN. SO DUMB REALLY 😂



  32. RussP713 on December 18, 2022 at 3:17 am

    Anti-americans



  33. Lindsey on December 18, 2022 at 3:17 am

    Traitors



  34. Myralhf on December 18, 2022 at 3:19 am

    The radical right are dangerous…some republicans that at one time were honorable, but their silence over the past 5yrs is stunning and hurting America. Thank you, Senator Klobachar and team for standing for our constitution and the People of America.



  35. bouzoukiman5000 on December 18, 2022 at 3:20 am

    Take note from Germany and Peru who arrested plotters for the same things republicans have been doing for years. But in lawless America we let the criminals have cushy government jobs with real power. It’s humiliating



  36. Jim Jett on December 18, 2022 at 3:24 am

    Those coup plotters should have no vote on any January 6th probes . By law they are not eligible to hold office !



  37. dsd Dala on December 18, 2022 at 3:24 am

    Next, I hope Congress changes the way pardons work. No President should be able to issue ANY pardons, after they are lost an election. Then, on top of that, there should be a set of ethics and rules to govern who gets a pardon and how that goes down. Also, there must be a written record, recorded, with multiple people who sign off from various career positions (not appointed positions), including at least 2 US career attorneys, 1 judge and whomever else has jurisdiction.



  38. Wilbur Kennedy on December 18, 2022 at 3:28 am

    Your unconstitutional



  39. Lilian Fowler on December 18, 2022 at 3:28 am

    Gossar is creepy.



  40. Manda Tories on December 18, 2022 at 3:28 am

    The law should include as well punitive actions against Senator and Congressman/woman who will made false claims of voter fraud without evidence. They should be jailed. Their saliva are not law



  41. James Carter on December 18, 2022 at 3:29 am

    They staged a coup inside and outside the halls of our Democracy in hopes of shutting it down.



  42. Kenny Thomas on December 18, 2022 at 3:29 am

    Treasonists. All of them should be barred from any gov position and be thrown in jail. What a complete ruse.



  43. Ted Robinson on December 18, 2022 at 3:31 am

    Rutherford B Hayes? In 1887 the President was Grover Cleveland.



  44. Vincent Hernandez on December 18, 2022 at 3:35 am

    Does MSNBC need help? I’ve been seeing so many typos in the titles of YouTube videos and on their banners during broadcasts. If you guys need someone who knows how to proofread, hit me up 😂



  45. Yoda Z on December 18, 2022 at 3:35 am

    Time to get rid electoral college…
    250 years old…when it was necessary to bring balance and get quick result..when on horse back… Now we can have several million votes almost instantly for American idol….we don’t this antiquated law.. get rid of it…..direct vote.



  46. Kerrie Macon on December 18, 2022 at 3:38 am

    Anyone who thinks trump could possibly be a super government agent gathering intelligence on his colleagues who are all criminals.



  47. morningmayan on December 18, 2022 at 3:40 am

    Scum traitor GOP they should all go to the pen with old Donny



  48. John Slamka on December 18, 2022 at 3:40 am

    Just wait, as soon as it blows up in the Democrats face they’ll be wanting the electoral college to go back to the old way. Why anyone would listen and take any so called news from here or CNN I just don’t understand.



  49. deamonomic on December 18, 2022 at 3:41 am

    Dude looks like he’s there under duress lol cruze was there to keep him in line
