The Discourse on Race in American Life Today
After saying he didn\u2019t like the chant of \u201csend her back\u201d at his event in North Carolina last week,\xa0 President Trump doubled down on the four congresswomen, also known as the Squad. In a tweet he said \u201cI don\u2019t believe the four congresswomen are capable of loving our country. They should apologize to America and Israel for the horrible hateful things that they have said. They are destroying the democratic party. But weak and insecure people can never destroy our great nation.\u201d That does not sound like someone who regrets what the crowd did at his event last week. Today we will have a conversation on how this rhetoric is affecting race in our country in the last three years of the current presidency.\nGuest: John A.
