Leslie is joined by callers as they discuss Congressional Republicans attaching 'poison pill' amendments to a bill that would fund America's response to the Zika virus. This includes riders to allow Confederate flags to be flown at cemeteries, as well as defunding Planned Parenthood, the VA and Obamacare.
