EXCERPT:
SULLIVAN: "Well, this legislation is never getting to the president's desk, because what you have seen from an extreme group of Republicans is to put forward a set of amendments that try to mix domestic social debates with the needs, the security needs, of our nation, and — " TAPPER: "Those amendments passed the House." SULLIVAN: "And, Jake, at end of the day, this — this Defense Authorization Act, Jake, from my perspective, is really about a bipartisan exercise in defending America, defending Americans' national security. And, historically, year after year, you have seen the Defense Authorization Act pass with overwhelming bipartisan majorities. We should not walk away from that. This should be an area where politics stops and national security starts.”
