The Piker Pill
from The American Mind Podcast · host The Claremont Institute
Over the weekend, a California man bolted past security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, wielding two firearms and a knife. The suspect was operating under a dangerous and widespread notion that Trump is an intolerable “traitor” deserving death. Meanwhile, far-Left streamer Hasan Piker goes mainstream, raising the question whether Democrat moderates have any room to lead their party out of the abyss. This week, the guys discuss the probable causes for the rise in political violence, including mental gymnastics employed by Piker and others to justify bloodshed.Recommended:‘The Rich Don’t Play by the Rules.
