AOC, the DSA, and the Beginning of the End of Woke

from Gun Owners Radio

AOC now says "Woke 1 was crazy." She never said she was wrong. This week Michael and Dakota walk through what a movement looks like on the way down: the rebrand, the platform almost nobody reads out loud, and a DSA representative who could not answer a simple question about who investigates a rape. Then Charlie Cook on AMCON, San Diego County kicking ICE and Border Patrol off the sheriff's range, and Black gun owners in Chicago charged with felonies while holding valid licenses. 00:00 Welcome: Michael and Dakota, and where Alisha is 02:01 A Girl and a Gun: last night's handgun safety class 02:40 How good are you?
