maria: and it s one reason so many attorneys generals have been suing the administration over this failed energy policy. secretary, thanks so much for being here. former energy secretary and governor rick perry joining us in texas. thank you, sir. with quick break, and just days after democrats secured their 51st senate seat, kyrsten sinema announced she s leaving the democrat party. republican marsha blackburn on the impact on a divided congress. she s next. stay with us.
joining me right now is congressman ro khanna himself who is a member of both the house oversight and reform committee and house armed services committee. ro khanna, identify said this i ve said this many times, you are a man of integrity. thank you for doing what you did. the entire country thanks you. what prompted you to write that note to the leadership of twitter? thank you, maria, but i don t think what i did was anything exceptional. i was just standing up for our constitution and for our first amendment. it is wrong to censor newspapers. it is wrong to censor journalists. look, the new york post hasn t written a kind thing about me in my six years in congress. they re a conservative point of view paper, but that doesn t mean that you can stop publishing their pieces or articles or censor their journalists from shareing stories. so it just offended the basic principles that our country is based on. maria: and those principles have been broken over the last few years.
