I had the pleasure of joining an all-star panel on Joy Ann Reid’s show, where we discussed how Trump’s racism is the feature, not the bug, and remains the central pillar of a MAGA movement that is united by its desire to achieve white power by any violent and criminal means necessary.
On Friday night, Trump declined to apologize for sharing a racist image of the Obamas as dancing gorillas. Of course, he wouldn’t. That goes against the Roy Cohn mantra of “never apologize.”
Well, now Republicans have to own it, and Trump’s friendship with pedophile Epstein.
Anti-racism activist Tim Wise, journalist Karen Attiah, and Robert Jones, an expert on White Christian nationalism, joined me to connect the dots and how Trump’s march towards white supremacy is as American as apple pie and slavery. The Epstein files, especially as they expose the Silicon Valley and Trump Administration connections, reveal how these billionaires are ultimately united in their plan to destroy democracy by fomenting civil divisions along racial lines.
At the end of the day, it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
Stay for my impression of Tim Scott/Lindsey Graham :)
