Trump Proves Hate & Violence Is Not the Fascist’s Final, Last-Gasp Option: It’s Their First May 11, 2023

Show notes

Guest-host Jefferson Smith fills in for Thom Hartmann today. On CNN last night Donald Trump doubled down on his lies in support of the white supremacist haters convicted of violently killing one police officer and sending 140 others to the hospital on January 6th. As long as Trump — or someone who shares his fascistic worldview — heads the Republican Party, this country will continue to be in crisis. Since Trump’s arrival on the scene, this cancer has spread. Guests: Prof Brad Snyder - Democratic Justice Felix Frakfurter. Will Bunch, national opinion columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
