Republicans HUMILIATE The Squad By Using Leverage In Speaker Election w/Brianna Joy Gray

As of Friday evening, House Republicans were still at it, taking vote after fruitless vote to determine who would be Speaker in the upcoming Congress. Holdouts against Kevin McCarthy had already won a series of concessions, but McCarthy still lacked the 218 votes needed to win. And for those on the left watching this unfold, it’s difficult not to wonder how much better off the progressive cause would be if The Squad had used their leverage the same way in the days of #ForceTheVote. Guest host Aaron Maté speaks with Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger and Bad Faith Podcast host Briahna Joy Gray about how this ongoing battle for Speaker puts The Squad to shame.
