DSCC Challenging Bond & GOP Senators On Vote Against Rape Victims' Rights

The DSCC has released a new web video and online petition challenging the 30 Republican Senators who voted against the Franken amendment to prohibit the Defense Department from contracting with companies that prohibit employees from suing for rape or sexual harassment. They write

The DSCC ad prominently features the following segment from The Rachel Maddow Show:
