Sarah Longwell: The Republican Party Has Abandoned Its Principles

from The Context · host Alex Lovit, Sarah Longwell

How did one of our major political parties abandon its principles? And what do voters make of that shift? Host Alex Lovit is joined by Sarah Longwell—a political strategist who broke from the Republican party when it acquiesced to Trump’s authoritarian tendencies. She went on to cofound a media outlet (The Bulwark) and an advocacy organization (Defending Democracy Together) to advance pro-conservative causes. She’s also the host of The Focus Group podcast and a senior fellow at the Charles F. Kettering Foundation. This episode is part one of a two-part conversation. Come back next week for part two. https://www.thebulwark.com/ https://www.defendingdemocracytogether.org/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
