MSNBC guest compares Senate GOP blocking Democrat's voting bill to apartheid

MSNBC guest Mark Thompson compared Senate Republicans blocking the Democrat's sweeping election reform bill, the For The People Act, to "apartheid."

"This is a holdover, really, from the time of enslavement," Thompson stated. "Many of these senators represent places that don’t have the same population while the majority of people support this legislation. This is not a democracy. This is a minority that is controlling this, and, you know, at the risk of making a controversial metaphor, I mean. We know what minority rule is, and there’s a term for minority rule and that’s called apartheid. We fought against that as well." Thompson piled on his grievances by insisting that "fifty Democrats represent 43 million more people than the 50 Republicans do" before adding "something’s going to have to be done" after this vote.
