'BradCast' 8/28/2020 (2020 RNC Week-in-Review w/ Heather 'Digby' Parton, Richard 'RJ' Eskow)

First up, a much-needed, extensive fact-check of the GOP lie-fest.\\xa0 Then we're joined for our Republican National Convention Week-in-Review by HEATHER DIGBY PARTON, award-winning opinion journalist at Salon and Hullabaloo, and RICHARD "RJ" ESKOW, longtime progressive columnist and host of The Zero Hour show on TV, radio and podcast. The bizarre, lawless, and stunningly dishonest event from the GOP was capped off by Donald Trump's droning, 70-minute long attempt to gaslight the American people.\\xa0 Did Trump's false, fear-mongering speech and the RNC's parade of dishonest, hypocritical speakers accomplish what Republicans and Trump needed it to? Parton and Eskow have plenty of thoughts on that question and many others in today's lively round-table at the end of another long convention week, as we prepare for nightmares to come in the general election season, presidential debate season, and, undoubtedly, a boatload of October Surprises and dirty tricks that lie ahead..."
