Renowned talk show host Tavis Smiley, formerly of BET Tonight & NPR’s The Tavis Smiley Show, joins Bad Faith to give a firsthand account of the Democratic Party’s attempt to bias his recent interview with Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein. Smiley provides new details as to the nature of the email from a Democratic Party affiliate who attempted to feed Smiley opposition research on Dr. Stein and provides context for how unprecedented this activity is. Smiley also assesses the Harris campaign’s approach to Black American voters via his new book Covenant with Black America – 20 Years Later, which assesses the progress (or lack thereof) Black Americans have made under Democratic leadership.
