    Chaos is Donald Trump's Currency says DNC Chairman Tom Perez Aug 31, 2020
    Show notes

    Tom Perez says the RNC had a lot of "happy talk" about things like health care and the coronavirus response, but the tales are detached from reality. Outside of the Republican bubble, a hurricane clobber cities, the state of California is on fire, and a racial justice crisis is continually unfolding across the country. As the Chairman points out, despite the love stories being told at the convention about Trump's record, the only president to have a worse jobs record than Trump is Herbert Hoover.
