113: CPAC Highlights #NerdAvengers

Author: Politicon March 8, 2023 Duration: 1:10:01
In the aftermath of Donald’s extreme rhetoric at CPAC, Mary Trump summons #NerdAvengers Jennifer Rubin, Danielle Moodie, Norm Ornstein, Dahlia Lithwick, and Wajahat Ali to fight back.  They examine the return of anti-federalists and fascism in the states, how radicals are pushing the Republicans and their media to the extremes, and if there’s hope of a moderate challenger on the Right.  Luckily, between young people and the awakening of the democratic sleeping giant, hope is finally starting to look like a better bet!
