Barbra Streisand: Congress ‘a mess’

In a fundraising plea on Saturday, singer Barbra Streisand said Congress is “a mess,” urging voters to fight back against conservative donors to fix it.

“Have you seen Congress lately? It’s a mess,” Streisand said in an email sent out by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Streisand slammed the Supreme Court’s decision to allow Texas to enforce its new voter identification law for the November election.

“Just this week in Texas, voting rights were dismantled, essentially blocking minorities and many students and seniors from voting,” Streisand said.

That, on top of President Obama’s healthcare, and equal pay policies for women, are why people should vote for Democrats, she urged.

“There is still so much more we can do,” Streisand said. “And that can only be achieved with an active Congress, not an obstructive one.”
