Sharpton challenging Republicans to do something they have no control over. Will he put this challenge to Dems after he's schooled on how government works?
As an MSNBC panel discussed congressional reticence with President Obama's strategy pertaining to ISIS, the Rev. Al Sharpton jumped in with a challenge to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to call floor votes on congressional authorization for action against the terror group.
But while Republicans control the House, Democrats run the Senate and hence Sen. McConnell has no power to call a floor vote.
