What does John Kelly's past tell us about his worldview? (Jonah Walters)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

In December of 2017, when Donald Trump nominated retired General John F.  Kelly to his current post of U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, he sailed through his Senate confirmation hearings, receiving the chamber's  approval by a margin of 88 Senators to 11. But the stricter rules regarding airline travel coming out of the Department of Homeland Security under his watch and his full-throated support for the President's immigration policy, has left many Democrats with buyer's remorse. In this episode of TrumpWatch, Jesse talks to Jonah Walters of the quarterly magazine Jacobin about what Kelly's past can tell us about the man and his views on U.S. security policy.
