Thursday, November 14, 2024 - Gerrymandering, comparing two "Pete's" & reparations by another name
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
Gerrymandering Georgia's map "played out just like Georgia Republicans intended" - as the Atlanta Journal Constitution deftly points out. The term isn't a sexy one, but as much as American voters hate government and "Congress" in particular, when can we have a discussion on eliminating what makes them so unpopular? Pete Hegseth is Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, much to the shock to this inside the Pentagon, Congress and in the retired ranks. That hasn't stopped some Trumpers from trying to compare his lack of qualifications to that of Pete Buttigeig. Wait'll you hear how one conservative pundit self-owned on that comparison, though. Trump's also openly calling for r̶e̶p̶a̶r̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ restitution for "victims" of DEI initiatives at colleges and universities. On to discuss this and the mood of the black electorate after the 2024 election is Dante King, author of "The 400-Year Holocaust," and producer of the forthcoming docuseries "Diagnosing Whitensss and Anti-Blackness."
