Keeping Them Honest: Texas Republican lawmaker defends reparative therapy
Reparative therapy is also known as gay conversion therapy. There is no scientific evidence this practice works and groups like the American Psychiatric Association have condemned it. New Jersey and California banned reparative therapy for minors, but the Texas Republican Party endorsed the practice and voted to add this language to their platform:
"We recognize the legitimacy and efficacy of counseling, which offers reparative therapy and treatment for those patients seeking healing and wholeness from their homosexual lifestyle. No laws or executive orders shall be imposed to limit or restrict access to this type of therapy."
Texas State Representative Bryan Hughes spoke to Anderson and defended his vote in favor of the measure.

What happens to the flood of undocumented children crossing the border?
David Brat says voters' concerns about immigration helped him beat Eric Cantor in their primary race. That victory comes as illegal border crossings are surging.

Gary Tuchman reports from Arizona on why these children are making the journey and what happens when they get here.
How did Eric Cantor's team spend its campaign cash?
Eric Cantor's team had millions of dollars to spend on his primary campaign.

Compare that to Team Brat spending just $122,000 on the entire campaign. Dana Bash has the latest.
Anderson discussed the impact of Cantor's loss with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, GOP strategist Ana Navarro and Chief National Correspondent John King.
