and she looked at me and i guess she knew how i was feeling. and she leaned over as we crossed and said persevere. i would tell them to persevere. and boy did she. after two marathon sessions, totaling more than 23 hours, senators now have concluded their questioning of supreme court nominee, judge ketanji brown jackson. joining me now attorney, democratic strategist, and cofounder of purple strategy, steve mcman and host of nbc s politics nation and the president of the national action network, the reverend al sharpton. gentlemen, good morning to you both, rev, as you watched the last couple of days, democrats say they want a full senate vote on judge jackson before the recess, which hits on april 9th so within the next couple of weeks.
body back inside. you know, to most people covid was just something to fear and hopefully not get. reporter: at the time, don s father was a resident at andover. reporter: before covid, his family was looking for another nursing home did your dad complain that he wasn t getting the kind of care he wanted all the time. all the time. reporter: but it was too late joseph died on april 9th, 2020, one of 83 residents to lose their lives at the nursing home from covid. he fears his father was put in the tiny overflowing morgue. my dad had to be one of those people. so i was beside myself thinking how could the place even be open. reporter: a federal inspection revealed the staff were not keeping adequate temperature logs the nursing home owners say the issues raised in the inspection were resolved, and they say, in part, the covid-19 pandemic brought unprecedented
with can, everything is fine. and i do not want you to worry. but worry, they did. she would call me, we would talk about things. and then, she would call me again, later. i would not remember anything we talked about. tommy sometimes did not pick up when her mother called. of course, she had no idea what was about to happen. least of all, on april 9th, in 2000. my mom had started to call my house. and i was letting it go to the voice mail. most messages wear the same, that she loved me, she found god, everything was fine. tammy waited until morning to call back. it was april 5th. and then can answer the phone and said, i do not know what is wrong with your mother, here, you talk to her. as a hello, mom, it is tammy. are you okay? and then she said, i love you. her words were very drawn out
