Time To Get In The Fight!

from On Democracy with FPWellman · host Fred Wellman

Donald Trump pardoned all of January 6th rioters including the leaders of the Oathkeepers and Proud Boys. It only took minutes for them to be welcomed with open arms back on the same Capitol grounds they stormed 4 years ago. It marks another dark turn towards extremism and a challenge for the opposition to this movement. Against this backdrop the Democrats are preparing for the critical February 1st leadership vote that will usher in a much-demanded new direction. Former Arkansas candidate for governor Dr. Chris Jones is running for Vice Chairman of the party and joins Fred to discuss his priorities and what comes next for the DNC. Chris grew up Arkansas. He attended Morehouse College on a full NASA Scholarship, then went on to study at MIT earning a Master’s degree in Nuclear Engineering, a Master’s Degree in Technology & Policy, and a Ph.D. in Urban Planning. After becoming an ordained minister, he returned home to Arkansas. He was the Democratic nominee for Arkansas Governor in 2022, launched Vortex PAC and has served as co-chair of Dirt Road Democrats driving rural outreach and recruiting.Learn more about his bid for DNC Vice Chair here: https://www.vicechairjones.com/Sponsors:Lumen: Take the next step in improving your health go to lumen.me/FRED to get 15% off your Lumen.
