Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are beginning to lay out against former President Trump as his Impeachment trial begins next week. At the same time, debate over President Biden s COVID-19 relief plan looms large over Congress.
Colorado Congressman Jason Crow joins us to discuss both issues.
Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO) joins Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss security challenges and homegrown terrorism following the deadly riot at the Capitol. He says while measures need to be put in place to make Congress more secure, “we have to remember this is the People’s House.”
Right out the gate, Crow said the Biden administration and Congress are addressing the pandemic. Of priority is a robust testing infrastructure and improving the vaccine rollout, especially after it came to light last week that the Trump administration didn t have a stockpile of vaccines as originally promised.
Crow also said he supports more direct payment stimulus, meaning the possibility of a $1,400 in the pockets of Americans, in addition to the $600 Congress approved before the start of the new year. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of giving more money to schools to make sure they’re safe enough to reopen.
