Monday’s Morning Joe opened with fill-in host Jonathan Lemire and his panel weighing in on the controversy surrounding Republican amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act. They argued that the military should pay for travel expenses for women in the military looking to travel out of state to circumvent state laws prohibiting abortion.
Lemire discussed clips shown in prior segments of Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Representative Michael McCaul (R-TX) defending the legislation, labeling them as “callous,” while Al Sharpton derided Senator Cotton’s term “abortion tourism.”
