A guard stationed at the door. its more of a complex issue is where are we going as a nation and what is happening in our country that is causing us to have to have armed guards. or consider half-armed guards at a synagogue. this group of people that were there for renaming ceremony of a child should not have felt that they should have been armed with weapons or should have been trained in case of an attack. that is not the nation that we are. and i hope that is not the nation that we become. it...

I think that there is not -- there would not be a lot of support within the republican party right now to do this. and i think it does say something about our politics. that we cant -- this is, we have a president that talked about there being bood people on both sides in charlottesville, saying we should not be bringing these statutes douwn. this is senator russell and the segregationalist past. it is a distant memory. >> it could just be inertia. if we rename one building well be renaming ever...

Building should be named after him against the same standard. so on the merit, you could see where that would be true. the other thing was that senator schumer has ensured that republicans are going to be divided on this issue. today, a bipartisan group was put together by senator mcconnell talking about a range of issues, and the way that the senate could honor mccain. the renaming of the building was not on it. senator schumer was asked, does mcconnell support renaming the building? he will ha...
