Trump’s summer of hate

On the latest episode of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice discuss two invasions: Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine and Donald Trump’s assault on our nation’s capital. If you haven’t yet subscribed to The Downballot, which provides unparalleled coverage of the thousands of critical elections below the presidency, sign up below: David and Aaron discuss: * Why there’s less than meets the eye to Trump’s seeming shift in attitude toward Putin * Why it matters that Trump’s attempted takeover of Washington, D.C., is already unpopular * How Democrats are fighting back against GOP efforts to rig the midterms through an unprecedented batch of new gerrymanders And much more! We also turned the tables in our usual audience Q&A when we asked you to help us track down an old Sarah Palin quote. Our viewers stepped up right away!
