Patriarchal Congress/Hypocritical Representative says do as i say, not as I did! Our guest, PETULA DVORAK, Columnist, The Washington Post - Republicans introduced 22 bills to overturn DC laws so far this Congress — including the DC CRIMES Act and a vote to prohibit individuals who are not US citizens from voting in DC elections.
