Ground Zero recovery workers and activists had a"great" meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell late Tuesday afternoon, following a public feud over the 9/11 victim compensation fund.
"They responded in five seconds, they did their jobs. With courage grace, tenacity, humility. Eighteen years later, do yours!" he shouted. Stewart has called out McConnell on several occasions for his inaction in the past regarding the bill. Feal says the meeting with McConnell Tuesday was"laid back" and relaxed -- adding that in previous years -- meetings with McConnell and his staff were"heated" and"emotional."
