“Viewpoint” host Eliot Spitzer hears Rep. Jackie Speier’s (D-Calif.) reaction to the political gamesmanship that led to the passage of a watered-down version of the Violence Against Women Act. GOP members of the House of Representatives voted in favor of the revised bill, which differs from the already-passed Senate counterpart because it doesn’t include language pertaining to immigrants and the LGBT community.
Speier, a Democrat, expresses her frustration at the partisan congressional proceedings: “I think there are some people running the asylum on the other side that don’t have their credentials. I think that they have really lost both a moral compass and a political acumen about what’s really important here.”
