'This whole thing is blowing my mind'

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Gary Francione, Michael Smerconish

In his NY Post piece, Professor Francione writes "I’ve been concerned about the direction of the party for a while now, but I was hoping it would correct itself. I was certain it would do so after getting completely hammered in the last election. But I was wrong. The Democratic Party seems determined to continue its headlong march into the oblivion of identity politics. The straw that made the camel leave the party came in the form of the Democratic reaction to H.R. 28, Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025."  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Michael asks his former law school professor, "by the way, did you think 100 years ago, I would bring you on a radio program, and I would be the one defending the transgender community?" After teaching Michael at UPenn Law, Gary Francione continued on through a successful teaching career, today he is the Board of Governors professor emeritus at Rutgers University Law School. He joins Michael to discuss his recent op-ed in the New York Post: "Why I left the Democratic Party after voting for Kamala Harris — and why others will follow." Original air date 31 January 2025.
