MSNBC The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell January 12, 2022 03:29:00

republican issue, but this isn't a partisan issue. when you suppress the vote, you are suppressing it for everyone. it has a greater impact on communities of color, new voters and younger voters, but this is not a partisan issue. when you look at the john lewis voting rights act, which is the voting rights act that has been reauthorized president after president after president, even republican presidents, the last time that it was reauthorized was under president george w. bush, a republican president, and it passed the senate 98-0. so this is not a partisan fight. donald trump and his team want you to think that it is, but we have to stand up for our country. we have to stand up for democracy and we need people to decide which side they are going to be on. this is our civil rights movement and we have to do to get this bill across the finish line. >> congresswoman nikema williams, thank you for joining us on this important day. really appreciate it.
