Trump and MS NOW each refuse to back down in ‘WAR’ against accountability
Last week, President Trump banned CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House grounds. And this is just the latest in a long list of times Trump has taken up metaphorical arms against the press. Symone and Eugene get into why the president — under water in the polls as Republican candidates start to distance themselves — might have decided to ban our journalists 40 days before the midterms. And with November approaching, our hosts invite one of the rising stars of the primaries, Florida’s surprise Democratic nominee, Angie Nixon, to the groupchat. Nixon called in from the campaign trail — specifically, from her van (“The Vangie”) — to shed light on how much support she’s receiving from the Democratic party, if the South can actually be repainted blue, and how she’s being prosecuted for protesting redistricting. “ I have to push back,” she says. “I know what we deserve, and I’m going to continue to fight for it.”
