MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains why Republican Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn may be caving to Donald Trump in their final months of their Senate careers despite initially saying they opposed Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General. Lawrence also praises MS NOW’s Jake Traylor for doing what a White House correspondent is supposed to do: ask Trump the same question again after he doesn’t answer it the first time.
