go crazy about it. the mayor would be like, this is disgusting, they would have his job. meanwhile this mayor sits back and says it s intolerable. meanwhile, i don t see them coming out supporting the police officers, saying, i won t have this happening to my officers, because they are not as officers. harris: i don t want to mix apples and oranges, but some critics would make the argument they ve got some interesting relations between police and certain members of the community. you look at eric garner s case, that was just adjudicated here. and he died. we can watch the video of him being pinned down by officers in his neighborhood. it is complicated, but to you it s a bottom line. i hear him saying that you can hear the laughter in the videos, that it s a two-way street. respect is a two-way street. you have to give it to get it. the disrespect shown in that video, he is violated, and they are laughing about it. i disagree on one thing, we are not approaching the point of
the squad because they are the new voices of the democratic party. branding these four members of congress the face of the party, it appears to be strategic. how should democrats handle this going into the election year without playing into hands of the administration in. this is intentional on the part of trump s campaign and the republicans. they do want to tie pelosi to these more progressive congresswomen and what they have to do is these member vss have lot of say. their tweets do go viral. when it comes to their work on the hill, i ve spoken to democrats who say what they are getting done is not a whole lot. they are driving the conversation and need to be defended when the president of the united states is tweeting racist things directed at them. there needs to be the democratic party needs to unite around them but also needs to not fall into the republicans strap of trying
ridiculing reporters while bringing in far right tv personalities and radio hosts to the white house, in some ways a campaign rally for 2020. it was tempting to say we should just ignore it and call it a stunt and move on. but something important was happening. trump was legitimizing provocateurs and extremists. it felt to me he was preparing his 2020 meme corpse. they make visual images that go on facebook and go viral. the summit suggests that 2016 s meme army was just proof afcon september for an information war in 2020. warzel said whatever is coming, we re not prepared. i think what he means by we is newsroom s, media companies. the people that try to make sense of the world for you. it felt the summit was a campaign 2020 strategy. hand-picked press corps. but the attendees don t work for news rooms.
the words that white nationalists use. it s not good enough to be a manifesto, to be perfectly honest. it s a lot of writing from someone who obviously has a lot of issues. but in that, if you count the number of times a version of invade is in there, we did, it s about 67 times. where have we heard that word before, don? yeah. from the president of the united states. and so it s this idea of dehumanizing the other and there is a power in that and they know that and they try to bring people in. it s about fear and it s about power. i have talked to countless people who are neo-nazis or white supremacists, and one of the things you hear over and over again is that they are afraid of the browning of the world or the browning of america meaning they are afraid that the numbers of whites are going to dwindle so the white folks are the minority in power and people of color are the majority. one of them said to me, i think
it s almost like this attack was produced to go viral, the manifesto, the livestreaming, the rampage, is social media adding to the rise of global white supremacy. absolutely. this is not your archie bunker racism where you accept the african-americans moving in next door. this is a sense that i can t exist if they exist. and that sense is then magnified through globalization and social media platforms which are not only sharing the information but also amplifying the violence so everyone gets energized by it and then the third piece is of course, the public space, the politicians, the pundits, people on tv who are condoning it, at worst, doing some dog whistles
