In today's episode we travel down to Alabama, where there is a gubernatorial candidate who is currently running on a platform to pubicly lynch convicted drug dealers. "He's throwing red meat to his base," says Benard Simelton, President of the Alabama State Conference of the NAACP. Meanwhile, the state is starting to reopen and coronavirus is still a major concern for residents. Another pressing matter in Alabama: the 2020 Senate race, which could potentially see the infamous Jeff Sessions running against Senator Doug Jones.
