Jeh Johnson calls out Republican senators by name to stand up against Trump's bizarre staff picks - Alex Wagner - MSNBC



Former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson talks with Alex Wagner about his expectation that there are still at least a few Republican senators left who will not stand for Donald Trump's selection of Rep.
