4:33Now Playing"Standing beside Wilson at a Capitol Hill news conference in September, Kowiak helped display a 10-foot-long banner headed 'Hazing Kills,' and depicting a cemetery. As Wilson vowed to deny financial aid to students who engage in hazing, Kowiak applauded. What Kowiak didn't know was that, behind the scenes, the fraternity industry's political arm, known as 'FratPAC,' had been pressing Wilson to back off. Today, 19 months after Wilson first promised an anti-hazing bill, she hasn't filed one.
The industry's lobbying is 'disgusting,' Kowiak said in an interview. 'What are the priorities here?' They 'should be to stop hazing so none of our youth have to go through it.'"*
Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
