have liked to hit democrats over the head with, election after election cycle. but i think what's taken over the republican party, and let's be real, this upcoming election, that's gonna be about the contrast between extremist policies coming out of the gop, when ron desantis said we won't see nothing, yet i don't doubt him, we know he is putting forward anti women, anti lgbtq, anti black, anti everything, agenda that targets every demographic group, especially minority groups, so i think that's something that really lays out the contrast for democrats, to play it nicely, when we talk about stephanie, mentioned earlier importance of kitchen table issues now in a people in this country are still struggling to make ends meet keep a roof of the head keep food on the table -- and actually helping people, and reminding voters that they did that almost exclusively alone as republicans and
of the stereotypes because these stereotyping would say is it creates a printed circuit who is a legitimate target. and something you touched on earlier, we're seeing different types of stereotyping tied together. antigovernment, anti-semitic. anti-black, anti-socialist, so these fears and stereotypes are tied together. now we're seeing this wave that shuftss and are tethered together. so the scapegoating that occurs is tied to agreements which can have an institutional component, but also a religious or earth nuclear component as we have seen in these attacks. so we see an increase in threats against government officials. >> very worrying to see. we'll have to leave it there.
running to be vice president, not to be president. i think she knows she has no chance against trump and ron desantis, and it's so cringeworthy, watching her walk through cpac, taking selfies and trying to make small talk. there are people shouting, i love trump, right behind her. she has flip-flopped so many times, it's hard to take her seriously. i am an immigrant myself. she is the daughter of immigrants, and to hear her, the daughter of immigrants, expressed support for the confederate flag in the south, and south carolina's confederate history month? it's so incredibly alarming. i feel like she is a total sellout. just going back to what we said earlier about cpac, let's be clear what anti woke means. it's anti black. i think people are very reluctant to say it, but i don't mince any words. that's the truth. that's their way of sounding the dog whistle without being extremely explicit. let's also not ignore the fact that cpac is becoming a gathering of sexual predators. let's be honest. matt lap, the chairman, was
andrew, this man as we just noted was arrested with about a half a dozen firearms and lots of ammunition after threatening to kill, and i'm quoting him now, "anyone that is jewish in the michigan government." how serious of a threat do you see this? >> well, i think it's very serious, wolf. and i think it's interesting, as john mentioned, you know, 10, 20 years ago we would have thought of this person as what we would call a sovereign citizen extremist. in those days sovereign citizens really restrained themselves to paper crimes, filing harassing liens against the property of government officials, refusing to put license plates on their cars, things like that. they just rejected the authority of local or federal government. today what we have is a very different situation. you have people with those sorts of leanings who also take on, you know, violent in this case anti-semitic beliefs or anti-black, anti-immigrant beliefs, and of course all of this is turbocharged by the
it is fine to do all of that but there are some real nasty elements of the republican party. white supremacists and others who want to align themselves with that party and nobody is really condemning those people. >> there is a big sense for me in this message from tim scott and from nikki haley where they are trying it seems to find some kind of middle lane that unifies both the trump supporters and anti-trumpers. they're trying to carve out that lane. is there really a clamoring for it? >> back to obama he did a similar dance where he said look i want to acknowledge both parties midwife legacy, the parts that maybe were anti-black in one way or another and i want to help the country move forward. that was considered a unifying message. i think in some ways we are seeing the republican version of that >> i want to just, we've been talking about ron desantis but let's talk about ron desantis. this week "the washington examiner" did a piece about his
