Joy Ann Reid to Dems: The Confirmation Hearings ‘Are a Television Show,’ ‘You Can Make it Hard,’ ‘Unpleasant’ for Nominees

EXCERPT:

REID: "And here's the thing these Democrats don't understand, is that the confirmation hearings are a television show."

SETMAYER: "That's correct."

REID: "It's a television program. You probably cannot stop the nomination, but you can put things in the record that the American people cannot look away from. Democrats do not have the power to stop these people from becoming defense secretary or becoming attorney general. But you cannot make it — you can make it hard and you can make it unpleasant and you can make it uncomfortable and force the American people, even watching FOX, who are watching that show, to get access to the truth. Give them access to the truth, because trust me, Trump and his team will give them no access to the truth.”
