Sen Tommy Tuberville says Democrats who voted against bill protecting female athletes 'hate this country'

Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., reacts to Democrats blocking a bill to ban biological men from women's sports and Linda McMahon being confirmed as Trump's education secretary.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., spoke out against the Democrats who blocked the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act this past week.
