Friday, March 21, 2025 - George Chidi after Dems town halls: "Strategy remains elusive."
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
George Chidi, journalist with The Guardian, Rolling Stone and the man behind The Atlanta Objective, sat in on recent town halls hosted by Reps. Nikema Willilams and Hank Johnson and came away with more questions than answers - not unlike their constituents. He and I had a free-wheeling conversation about a lot of what's going on, politically. Preparing the American population for Medicaid cuts shuttering nursing homes and families having to take their loved ones in ... the "fajita sizzle" media manipulation with ICE raids not adding up in gaudy numbers despite the salacious headlines ... news nuggets he brought that included the date we learn the fate of Rep. Williams as head of the Georgia Democratic Party ... his sense that there's a bubbling scandal in Atlanta City Hall ... his FOIA request for benign documents from Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis. Chidi - like many of us - is wondering who's going to step up and "do something!" to take on MAGA. Hear us discuss all that and project towards 2026 and beyond (if it even matters) ... Oh, and I promised I'd let y'all know: Georgia is looking for a freelance writer (or multiple) to help him cover the stories he's known for covering in the Atlanta Objective. If you're interested, drop him an email: [email protected]
