other than cruz, i don't know, trying to get some attention and his name in the mix here speaking out about this, what are he and other republicans doing here with this, what are they doing? >> race is an incredibly powerful motivator for the republican party base right now. it is the very effective to use race to rile up their voters who believe that they are themselves the non-white part of the republican base being discriminated against and that's why you see so many republicans willing to villainize just the concept of the black woman on the supreme court as if all the white men and others who came before them were not the beneficiaries and preferences. also, what susan collins said about ronald reagan is just not the case, it's the exact same thing. he promised in a campaign he would put a woman on the supreme court and he did that, and that's exactly what joe biden is doing here when it comes to black women. >> thank you guys both, great to
