White Supremacists in Congress? And Marilyn Mosby Stops By

This week, hosts Andrew Gillum, Tiffany Cross, and Angela Rye start off with another brief update from Trump-trial land. Then onto a special message from Bernie Sanders to young voters—will it matter? 

And speaking of political messaging, New York’s Governor Hochul’s cringe-worthy comments about “Black kids in the Bronx” this week. The hosts discuss the blindspots that sometimes exist with liberal white politicians. 

And Gov Hochul isn’t the only politician garnering some controversy over racially-charged remarks. We got a reminder last week that some members of Congress are just straight up racist. And so we ask, are there white supremacists in Congress? Spoiler alert: yes, and the hosts will name a few. 

In Politics Are Everywhere we examine violence and the ongoing beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Given the drive-by shooting outside Drake’s house, the hosts ask: at what point does beef in hip hop culture go too far?

Last but so far from least, there’s a special guest on the show today…
