Washington's Orlando Response
Melinda Henneberger, editor-in-chief of Roll Call, talks about last night's senate filibuster for gun control, the actual likelihood of such laws passing, and how the presidential candidates have responded to the Orlando attack.
@BrianLehrer I couldn't stop watching. It was fascinating and inspiring. Also a Senator said it was 'organic'. I'd like to hear more.
