Isakson drew cheers when he began with remarks condemning the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacists. But he got more questions — and occasional shouted criticism — on health care than on any other single subject.

On “Morning Edition,” Isakson spoke with Denis O’Hayer about what the Senate should do next on health care; the reactions of fellow Republicans to the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia; and a Veterans Administration bill he sponsored, which President Donald Trump just signed into law.
