issues that people might care about and be talking about and the other thing that i was mentioning is that a lot of the branding and messaging from democrats and pro-abortion folks on this constitutional amendment was more focused on whether or not you as a voter in kansas wanted to see changes to your state constitution. think, people knew it was for abortion protections or getting rid of them, but they also know that that language is something that will appeal to republicans as we ve seen in addition to democrats. donna, i want to play for you some remarks from kansas democratic congresswoman cherise davis who was with us on morning joe this morning on how democrats and pro-choice campaigners got their act together. when the dobbs decision came down, i think we saw this across the country and i saw it in the kansas third and i saw it and i heard from people, people were scared and had tons of anxiety
for them, for their kids, for their grandkids and i think rightfully so. i hope that people can see that getting engaged and making sure that you re making your voice heard, people are knocking on doors and making phone calls. there was so much energy and i ve heard the word excitement used as it relates to our win last night, but it wasn t just that. it was relief. so was there something to be said here about defeating an anti-abortion measure in kansas of all places that those in the activist effort here have sort of blunted that momentum of the pro-life movement everywhere. is this just isolated to kansas? first of all, i don t think it s isolated, but i think that congresswoman davis district is instructive. she represents a swing district in the suburbs of kansas city,
actually we should come together for a bill that is not a democratic bill, not a republican bill, it s bills about the american worker and the american people. so then that sounds like these negotiations the deadline isn t this week. the deadline there is no deadline anymore? well, i think there s a fluid conversation and i think if we put deadlines there, and we start talking about deadlines, then there s lines drawn in the sand. i think we ll see what happens tomorrow. it s a meeting in a timely approach. we ll see tomorrow with the meeting and the senator and on the conversations that we re having today and tomorrow. all right. interesting. secretary of labor, marty walsh, thank you very much for coming to the sunday show. thank you. and joining me now is congresswoman davis of kansas. author of sharice s big voice. thank you for coming to the sunday show. your reaction to secretary walsh
like on my pizza. i m not sure for folks who read the book, they can see what they take away from it. congresswoman davis, i m with you on that. i should point out, your journey has been a historic one. you re one of the first two native americans elected to congress. you re the first out lgbt native american elected to congress. you re the first out lesbian elected to congress from kansas. so congresswoman davis, congratulations on the book. thank you so much. wonderful to be on the journey with you. thank you very much for coming to the sunday show. good to talk to you. up next, it s pride month and the senate is finally expected to vote on the equality act. two important voices join me next. act. two important voices join me next welcome back to that same old place that you laughed about well, the names have all changed since you hung around
inside? well first, saying those things about congresswoman davis is absolutely wrong, as the chairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee , i got to know her and i actually had a big role to play in that important race where she won and flipped this important district as well but again, i m of the approach that you need to sit down and have a conversation, and bring people into that room to do that. i think that this weekend into next week you ll hear more from our democratic colleagues about the importance of that, but again, the t tone of what was included in that specific message to congresswoman davis from canada was wrong and something i did not support. w chris: i finally want to talk to the president s surprise has beenbo tweeting this morning and i want to put up a tweet because he specifically has been calling out progressive democratic congresswoman who come originally from countries, his words, his governments are
