Silenced by the Senate, Elizabeth Warren explains why she opposes Sessions.

Partisan tensions came to a head on Tuesday over the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions to be attorney general. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren was chastised and officially silenced after reading out loud a decades-old letter by the widow of Martin Luther King Jr. that called Sessions' record on race "reprehensible." Lisa Desjardins reports and Audie Cornish interviews Warren.
