Merkley: Obama Spoke to Agenda We Need by Calling for Ending Filibuster - Saying McConnell's Blocking Us 'Not Acceptable'

On Tuesday's "MSNBC Live," Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) stated that he hopes Democrats are "united behind a very strong, progressive agenda" and stated that President Obama spoke to this idea "when he said that we have to take on gerrymandering, voter suppression, dark money, voting rights of citizens in Puerto Rico and D.C., and if we have to change the filibuster to do it, so be it." Merkley also stated that saying, "we want to do a lot, but too bad Mitch McConnell is blocking us, is not acceptable."
