Former Senator John C. Danforth recently made headlines chastising one of his fellow Republicans and statesman, Sen. Josh Hawley, after the insurrection on at the U.S. Capitol. Now retired from public service, Danforth has avoided the limelight however he chose to publicly criticize his fellow Missourian for Hawley's actions to overturn the results of the presidential election.
Why did Danforth choose to speak out? What does this elder statesman think about the direction America is headed under a new administration?
On Thursday, Feb. 11 at 6 p.m. (CT), join Danforth for an intimate conversation about the state of affairs in our country during American Public Square at Jewell's "Cocktails & Politics" program. APS Founder Ambassador Allan Katz and Advisory Board Co-Chair Mike McShane will host Danforth and, among other things, will discuss the notion of "us versus them" that has taken hold in America today.
