We speak with Rep. Jamie Raskin about his wife Sarah Bloom Raskin's grilling by a Senate panel Thursday over her qualifications to be President Biden's nominee for the top bank regulator, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Republicans argue her past comments on climate change show she could use her position to discourage banks from lending to fossil fuel companies. Raskin said if she was confirmed, she would not be able to take such actions. What they're attacking is the idea there can be citizens who are fully aware of climate change and take it seriously, who can serve honorably and lawfully in other capacities," says Rep. Raskin. It is just an outrageous attack on her qualifications." We're also joined by Love & the Constitution" director Madeleine Carter, whose film premieres Sunday.
