Sen. Warren on the NRA & unions yesterday
Story below. We have had two days in a row with no donations. Even just $3 helps. Donate to Warren for POTUS with our DU ActBlue link here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforwarren#
Sen. Elizabeth Warren says the National Rifle Association is holding "Congress hostage" when it comes to stemming gun violence.
The Massachusetts senator and Democratic presidential candidate tells a campaign rally that if seven children were dying from a mysterious virus, "we'd pull out all the stops till we figured out what was wrong." But in terms of gun violence, she says the NRA "keeps calling the shots in Washington."
Warren finished a two-day campaign trip to New Hampshire with an event at middle school in Conway Sunday afternoon.
Warren focused much of her speech on her approach to economics, but paid special attention to unions Sunday. She says more power needs to be put back in the hands of workers.
