‘Better watch y’all language’: Symone on progressive’s RACIST ATTACK on Hakeem Jeffries

Symone and Eugene discuss the racist attacks targeting Hakeem Jeffries and why disagreement with his politics never justifies dehumanizing language. Progressive commentator Rula Jebreal had plenty of reasons to criticize House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Instead, she called him an “errand boy” and a “monkey.” They have a lot to say about this, and the what’s wrong with our political discourse, that Jeffries can be sharply criticized but the political conversation needs substance, not slurs. Also, why Symone and Eugene are optimistic for Democrats with just weeks to go before the midterms. They are joined by MS NOW’s Director of Elections & Analytics Kabir Khanna on why his team now considers the Texas Senate race a toss-up, including Democratic enthusiasm, Latino turnout, fundraising and Ken Paxton’s vulnerabilities – and what new polling does—and does not—tell voters. there’s John Fetterman facing scrutiny after reporting from former staffers, and the hosts’ debate over anonymous sources, accountability and his political shift. Finally, they break down the heat on John Fetterman as former staffers leak like a sieve.
