Who choose to ignore it are putting this country in jeopardy. There just is no nicer way to put it. Just yesterday, the second highest ranking republican in the House Of Representatives refused three times to acknowledge the simple and undeniable fact joe biden won the election. Here is House Minority whip Steve Scalise of louisiana. Do you think the 2020 election was stolen from donald trump . Chris, ive been clear from the beginning. If you look at a number of states, they didnt follow the state passed laws so you think the election was stolen . What i said is there are states that didnt follow their legislatively set rules. Last time, i promise, do you think the election was stolen or not . Its states that did not follow the laws set, which the constitution says theyre supposed to follow. I should remind you that guy is in leadership in the first place despite having compared himself to david duke without the baggage. Its been going in a trump direction for a minute. Steve scalise is a leadership. There he is gulp, gulp, gulping that koolaid down. Fellow republicans have fallen in line and chanted the big lie trump supposedly won. As steve bannon writes for msnbc, the line between the gop fringe on capitol hill and the gop leadership is blurred to the point where it hardly exists at all. The big lie is so deeply entrenched in republican orthodox. Theyre poised to steal elections they dont win and thats prompted warnings from Neo Conservative Scholar To Libertarian Comedian Bill mar to chris krebs at the department of Homeland Security. He warned yesterday our democracy is in a death spiral. What were seeing is Congressmen Schiff mention this constant erosion of confidence in the Electoral System and it is ultimately anti democratic and were frankly in a death spiral as i see it and two years, four years at the ballot box isnt good enough and there has to be other Accountability Measures for those that will continue to proliferate these lies. Thats what makes the Committee Investigating january 6th so critical. And its why the question of whether attorney general Merrick Garland will enforce and trying to defy the committee is a life or death question for our democracy. Joining me is john brennan and olivia troy, former senior aid of the White House Coronavirus task force and director of the accountability project. Dr. Brennan, i suffer from insomnia and one of the things thats made it worse is i feel like, you know, the people are sort of going about their lives and not facing the fact that our democracy really is falling into a deep sink hole, and i dont know if you having professionally had to look at countries that were spiraling out of if you see those countries lining up the way we lined down. I do, joy. Over the last several years, i think weve exhausted all the words and phrases in the english language to describe the moral bankruptcy including of the course donald trump. I think each day we have more evidence of that bankruptcy and its not just their rhetoric that we should be concerned about. I think they really are laying the groundwork for the elections in 2022 and 2024. Their whole Party Platform these days is based on dishonesty. They hope with dishonest way, they can sway them. The fact Steve Scalise continues to refuse to acknowledge joe biden is the president of the United States shows just how much the Republican Party devolved at this point, the leadership and with rare exceptions a few others, all the republicans seem to be lining up behind donald trump and the fact that senator grassly continues to rubble at the feet of donald trump because he believes he needs the endorsement to win reelection shows the length these individuals will go. They dont care about integrity. Olivia troy, that was described where the people who actually do know better and understand things realize that the looneys are taking over so you have two choices. When you see, you know, the factious take over, you join them or fight them. The Neo Conservative sort of wing of the party that spent its entire kind of adult life like looking at fixating on spreading democracy, theyre like oh, crap, we have to spread democracy here. They are in the camp of saying i see this and recognize it. The rest are joining up. Steve scalise in louisiana, the quote about him being david duke appeals to voters id like to appeal to the same white voters. Thats what he was trying to say. Instead of saying no, david duke is just absolutely wrong, he said this will work for me. Ill just take out the parts explicitly dead. Let me play former this is fiona hill. This is what you think storming during the french revolution. Storming the Winter Palace during the Russian Revolution that general milley was eluding to. We see many historical episodes where there is violence and People Discount it and think there is just a passing occurrence, Vice President pence has been down playing it, even though he would have been targeted. He was targeted. They wanted to lynch him. Then people sweeping this away saying Nothing Happened here and the next time around you get the real thing. This was in effect a Dress Rehearsal for something that could be happening near term in 2022, 2024. I mean, do you agree with that olivia. That is what bill maher described, that is the future. Im incredibly concerned at all of these people instead of taking a stand and instead of telling the truth, which they need to to their own supporters because that is how well survive as a democracy and country in terms of coming together and actually being honest with one another and getting back to true, i would say, governance and policy and politics on the republican side. That is how we need to come together to move forward. I think their all correct in saying this and concern for it. Weve got all these people who instead of taking a stand for the truth are standing by and enabling whats happening here because its the narrative of convenience for them. Thats where we are. The big lie is the Republican Partys platform. There is no policies. Theyre not really pushing anything. Theyre lying and repeatedly and its a platform for the past and a big lie for 2020 but certainly not in the past anymore. Its the big lie in the Midterm Elections of what will happen. It will be the big lie Going Forward and the big lie will be moving on and just like he said, its the on going lane of the groundwork to put forth efforts in an attempt to overturn elections in the future that arent conveient for them and all of these people decided theyre okay with it because it keeps them in power in their eyes. You know, john brennan, you know, the Elephant In The Room donald trump at this point, Jonathan Karl has a book out that he was intrigued by the idea Nest Thermostats their engaging wild things, anything to say anything except donald trump lost the election and the Elephant In The Room is that the cause of the discontent on the right is that people who look like me chose biden and got their way. People who are brown and black are a rising majority and they because of the numbers, the 80 20 rule, you need 80 of people of color and you can get by of 40 of voters and democrats win. Thats a fact. They cannot stand that reality so what theyre saying to their voters that are mainly White Working Class voters is dont worry. Well make sure those people cant vote. Well believe any theory aliens came down and made donald trump lose. Anything but you lost but they dont want to face those voters and say to them yall cant always win elections. Thats what this comes down to, no . And they know the demographic and Political Trends are against them. They continue to exploit the fears of individuals in the country by over stating the concerns that a lot of people have about what is happening in this country in terms of migration and Economic Issues and other things, but i must say that were no longer the worlds role model for democracy i think. Given the authoritarian tendency, its quite clear that the republicans i think are trying to resort to any tactic possible and i am concerned that what we saw on january 6th could that be rereplicated in the future . Are there individuals who are going to try to stoke those fears to such an extent some people will try to take action into their own hands . In interviews over the weekend, i heard individuals say they see a civil war coming. The cost of this fear they have that theyre going to again resort to any tactic whatsoever in order to hold on to what i think is their failing ability to hold on to power. And then its push. Right . Theyre saying theyre going to Reinstall Donald Trump. This is what the right olivia is saying they will Reinstall Donald Trump in power by any means necessary. You had people on that mall attacking the capitol with Military Training who were active Police Officers or former Police Officers. So it wasnt all just, you know, real estate, you know, agents with Nothing Better to do. Some of these people had Tactical Training and i think what is terrifying to me is that they have not wrapped into this wild orthodox and anti vax and anti mask, which also there are some people with the same training part of that and so i wonder if you worry that just as a matter of Homeland Security trying to deal with 2022 and 2024 whether we have any preparation whatsoever for what were facing because it could be what we saw on january 6th on steroids. Thats absolutely correct. I think that this is continuing to gain traction. These threats continue to increase and are on the rise. These grievances continue to be on the rise and these elected leaders that are actually supporting these types of endeavors are creating this prime opportunity for violence, for Political Violence and theyre encouraging the use of violence to take a stand when things dont go their way. They encouraged it on january 6th and continue to encourage it today. Were in a very dangerous moment for our country right now that well continue Going Forward and i think we should absolutely be looking at the Homeland Security enterprise, which is why the january 6th committees work is critically important so we dont repeat the same mistakes of the past and understand what failed that day. What led to that so Going Forward were more vigilant and the Homeland Community is more prepared at the state and local level to prepare to deal with this and deal with it within their own ranks because we know its there. These are our neighbors. These are our people that we know who have fallen for this whole sham and charade and its so dangerous because its really hard when you have this scenario to really counter it with truth and facts. You and i, the three of us are living in the real world, the reality. Were looking at it from rational perspectives. The messages i get from the people that love to hate me are looking at it from a different reality and watching echo chambers. Theyre watching leaders who are telling them these things and theyre watching the narratives on right wing pundits coming together and its a recipe for dangerous disaster. And john brennan, very quickly, have you ever observed a society in this state of breakdown that fixing itself without some pretty serious action and if so, what is that action . What can be done to reverse it . Well, i think in the past sometimes there could be a Galvanizing Event where its going to unite individuals against the common threat. Unfortunately, the threats we see right now are within our borders or among us and i think its really going to be difficult over the next several years. I think were in for several years of real difficult political waters here that really are going to really test the medal of our democracy and this is the time for americans to try to push past the disinformation and try to return to the principles of this great democracy in this republic of ours . Gods ear, john brennan and olivia troy. Scary is caring. Thank you for coming. Its scary but we got to deal with it.

If you want a taste of what the gop dreamt up for america, take a look at texas. On average, more than 270 people in texas died from covid every day in the last month. Women have less rights than men in effect after a federal Appeals Court reversed a temporary pause and certain counties are banning books in school because they touch on race and that makes some white parents uncomfortable. You might be familiar with the practice. Its called censorship. The states governor issued an order telling private businesses, they, these private businesses may not issue Vaccine Mandates. What happened to government staying out of the way . Most of this is brought to you by governor greg abbott, up for reelection and wants to out do the hard right wing nuts. How about this man who is in a Hospital Tweeting with covid pneumonia. I can attest after this experience im more dedicated to fighting against Vaccine Mandates instead of enriching the Pockets Of Pharma and governor of texas ill crush, crush anyone forcing Vaccine Mandates on the lone star state. Our bodies are our last sanctuary of liberty and freedom. Ill defend that for everyone. Just not for women, of course. Joining me now, Jason Johnson and host of a word with Jason Johnson and former spokesperson handling Voting Rights for the doj. Last i checked monoclonal antibodies are even more expensive than all the other treatments for covid19 meaning allen west is actually enriching big pharma by choosing those and lots of big donors to the Republican Party. Your thoughts on the tweets from his covid bedside or covid bed . This isnt a race to the right. This is a race to the bottom and thats exactly what is happening with the gubernatorial primary in texas right now. You have not only allen west who is literally hospitalized as we speak because hes not vaccinated and he had low oxygen leveling. You have another person in the primary that put out a Press Release today claiming victory for moving abbott to the right and having a ban on vaccine mandate. Thats what were talking about. This race just shows how important governors races are and especially in the state of texas whether it is, you know, ensuring that people dont get vaccinated because thats what they want to do or whether its womens rights or whether its even keeping your electricity on for that matter in texas. This is a race to the bottom and thats exactly what this primary is. I mean, jason, basically in texas the grid is private but private businesses cant have mask Vaccine Mandates if they want to and the guy that wants to replace Governor Abbott who is so far to the right hes basically to the right is the guy i remember him from florida. Hes the guy that mock executed an iraqi policeman and got in trouble in the army. Here is his quotes on barack obama. If youre here to stand up, get your musket, fix your bayonet and charge. He said that black people are better off during segregation because they had better Education Opportunities and called islam not a religion. Your thoughts . You know, look, speaking of educational opportunities. One of the other crimes weve seen in the state of texas is this book banning they have where theyre chasing after books and dont want kids to learn about critical race theory. I have Jeffrey Craft behind me and he writes great books. Allen west, he is the guy for the Republican Party right now. They want that same kind of they want that sort of all natural flavor racism but blackface with a 1990s flat top haircut, thats what they want and can get out allen west. If he can actually get out of bed and realize he can catch covid again because the imaginary antiboies cant keep him safe, many republicans in that state may want him. Here is the problem. The state of texas is not nearly as republican as the idiots they seem to want to have running. 95 of the growth in that state has have been coming from minoriies and people from other more liberal progressive places moving into the state and at some point the dam will break and youll see politicians that reflect the people that live there and not just moneyed interest that are paying their way. Jason has a good point. One of the things republicans are doing and trying to find as many black and brown and asianamerican people that spout those same ideologies. In texas saying well dress this up in sort of a black person and say see, were not racist. Look at us. We have allen west but allen west is the guy who says segregation was a better time for black people. Right . So its like ironic black people but that is their strategy and i wonder if in a party that is sort of showing itself to be terrified of learning about dr. King because it might make white students feel uncomfortable to talk about racism, whether or not he might be a threat to abbott. Maybe far right democrats are saying i prefer my racist ideas in the form of allen west. Well, abbott is feeling the threat right now. I think that youre having him take pretty hard right stranss stances and looking into the last election. He cant afford donald trump out there opposing him. He is scared about the right. At the same time, hes also scared about black and brown people voting. Yes, the party in texas might lift off a black candidate where they can but if they werent scared about black and brown people voting in texas then they wouldnt have pass the the Voter Suppression law to make it harder. Yes, and fullactually, theyre passing redistricting to figure out how do we silence black and brown people . Thats exactly what is happening now. If you want to talk about a party that is tries to property up their black candidates, id also point you to a party thats trying to silence them. Well, so the thing is, jason, the gerrymandering wont do anything about the state race. They will try to smash the votes in Harris County and try to squash the nonwhite vote but i wonder if in the end, this game between turning the state into the Hand Mads Tail state and going after black and Brown Votering with aggression, the Lieutenant Governor blaming black people for covid outbreaks. The accumulation winds up biting them in the butt if they wind up with allen west on the ticket instead of the current governor. Well, here is also the irony of this joy. For all of these sort of lack of Election Integrity and concerns that texas politicians have, if i was allen west, i wouldnt trust that the Current System will be a fair primary. Why isnt he worried about that . Why isnt he worried abbott will cheat and manipulate the vote . If there was any integrity to this and not a chase to find a way to suppress black voters, they would be questioning the system of their primary. I dont know, joy, if i think this will bite the Republican Party in the butt because this will depend on what happens in washington d. C. The police the democrats in that state had to flee to. Nobody in texas will face consequences for Voter Suppression. Thats a good point. Look at the past here. So, you know, the brothers said to me in 2012 eventually this state will be a purple state. Its moving in that direction but to the point jason just made, democrats in d. C. Have a lot to do with whether or not that vote can be galvanized. Maria, teresa kumar says there need to be issues that are patble. Democrats are stalled pretty much in d. C. And yet, look at this state. Ted cruz only beat beto orourke by less than two points last time when he ran. The current Governor Abbott did better against valdez but will not run against a woman this time. So i wonder if Texas Democrats are frustrated that the d. C. Situation is not helping them to motivate more voters to try to overcome these voter suppress tactics . I think Texas Democrats are frustrated and not just frustrated because of the motivation because there are a lot of things that motivate voters. The pandemic, the economy, health care, all the issues front and center nationally are front and center in texas but i think theyre frustrated more because theyre asking for basic protection in Voting Rights. If republicans try to gain the system time and time again, it will be harder for a democrat to win in texas and they know. Theyre worried about the numbers between beto orourke and ted cruz. Theyre even more worried about beto orourke potentially running against greg abbott right now. So they will do everything they can in order to silence voters in the Midterm Election and in the president ial election because theyre worried that its slipping out of their hands and yes, democrats are frustrated but i think theyre frustrated with the lack of progress on Voting Rights, which are basic protections for people in texas. That and womens rights. Texas is the microcosm for all bad things republicans are trying to do. Lets see how it goes next year. Thank you both very much. Up next, the fate of the Democratic Party as we were just discussing and the country is at stake.

I see a civil war coming. I do. I see civil war coming. A glimpse of the rally of the disgraced twice impeached president over the weekend. If thats not the dimly lit future you want and you dont want her advocates at charge, the question becomes is the imperfect but Democratic Party left built to stop it . Because with little more than a year until the midterms, there is one thing most observers agree on. The democrats are in trouble but is it as former obama data guru david shore argues because of the way politics are structured to favor white Rural Communities in a second and democrats are not connecting with the voters who they need in the communities or is it as New York Times columnist charles blow suggestions that the democrats are not getting enough done with the power they currently hold in the white house and both Chambers Of Commerce . Because the reality is, we dont have another party thats built to save our democracy. The republicans are gone. If democrats dont have it in them to do it, that woman calling for civil war, she could be our future. Joining me now is rachel, Political Scientist and cofounder of strike pact, and cornell belcher. Ill read you a couple bits and ask you to tell me where you fall on which of these two people are correct. Here is what charles blow wrote in his New York Times column about 2022. He says democrats need to do more. They will have no choice but to pass something no matter the size because the consequences of failure is suicide. Democrats must go into the midterms with something they can call a win with something that at least inches closer to the transformations that biden has promised. On the other end, you have ezra klein and his data which he explains is democrats are on the edge of an electoral abyss to win states that lean republican and internalize they are not like and understand the voters they need to win over. Ill start with you cornell. Actually, ladies first. Ill let rachel go first. Which side do you fall on . Is it that democrats need to find ways to appeal to people in a more sort of White Working Class conservativish world or do they need to get more stuff done . Well, i think what i would say if i was able to talk with david is to say okay, well, then how did democrats exactly win over White Working Class voters if the main motivating, you know, factor other than partisanship that is motivaing them is white racial resentment. It is very clear. Its 2016. Theres been a lot of Research Since to kind of get in controlled models what matters to voters. Is it messages, issues, bread and butter . Economics . No its fear about winning and minorities taking over their, you know think about it. This is a group of people that had power in perpetuity and now that power is not only being challenged. It is being decreased. We celebrate that but in certain segments of the country, especially when you have advertising and messaging and Propaganda News Network that is stoking those things, making them focussing on dr. Seuss and not on the covid relief money they got, right . You cant win back working white class voters. There are tons of Working Class Voters that are not right that we could improve out reach to and we hit them we have to understand where these voters are. Theyre not us. Theyre not following politics so, you know, no one is telling them the Republican Party is bad for their personal pocketbook they will continue to be under the false assumption that voting for republican helps them. So cornell, to that point. Thank down. Thats one of the reasons i wanted rachel to go first. I wanted to ask you a similar question. Democrats are obsessed with the middle class and when they say the middle class, they mean white middle class, white suburban voters. How do we make them like us . At the end of the day isnt rachel correct the base, base of the party is also unsatisfied but its more because theyre not getting what democrats promised . No . Where do you fall on that trajectory between sure and charles blow . My head is about to explode about this. What would barack obama, would we have barack obama if we listened to that thinking and truth of the matter is democrats have not won the working white voter in decades and the trim line is moving in the opposite direction. Where were doing better is among better educated white voters, College Educated white voters you saw from the past election, biden was able to do what Hillary Clinton nor barack obama was able to do in winning White College women. Thats where the new majorities are in fact built but to your point. There is the theory about winning aunts and uncles and not letting them go. The truth of the matter is if you look at the majority that both obama win and biden won, they look at Diverse People and better educated americans showing theyre in fact majority. Thats where the majority is. At the same tame, i dont like the idea of pitting one against the other. Look at the biden agenda overwhelmingly helps Working Class white people, Working Class americans, the middle group of americans but to the early point, tribalism is so strong now. Are they putting Pocketbook Considerations or transactional considerations above higher interests above the trouble . No, when have americans ever done that . Never. Right. Theyve never done it. So i kind of reject that idea but also, you know, to blows point, democrats need to put up points and score points but ill remind you, joy, that in 20 the early part of obama administration, we passed they passed an awful lot of legislation to pull america back from the brink of an economic catastrophe and then they got their tails whipped in 2010 partially because quite frankly what were seeing now is the base of the party is not energized and republicans do a good job of energizing their base while democrats are afraid to energize the base because theyre afraid of this Myth Swing Voter that might be turned off. Let me very quickly put up for everybody so you guys understand the democrats had the majority of State Legislatures as recently as 2009. They started to lose it in that 2010 Armageddon Midterm and it never came back. Democrats are not focused on the state elections enough. Very quick lightning round starting with you cornell. Are you concerned about democratic turnout in 2022 . Yes or no . If we dont get justice and policing and we dont get Voting Rights turned around, yes, im very afraid those African Americans wont turn out. Are you concerned about turnout in 2022 . Yeah, ill tell you this. The Republican Party understands how transactional the democratic electret is. Theyre going to deprive us of the victories there is no way the Republican Party will do anything to help or really just, you know, not put out every stop to keep the things that cornell wants done from getting done because even if the democratic consultant class doesnt yet understand turnout, the Republican Party does. They like al qaeda, they think long term. Rachel, cornell, thank you very much.

According to a Scathing Propublica Report A County was profiting off the jailing of black children as young as 7 years old for a crime that doesnt exist and they have been doing it for more than a decade. They use a Filter System to give jailers discretion for jailers arrested sent to the juvenile defense center. 11 black children were arrested for witnessing, not participating but witnessing a fight between other children. Just seeing it happen. Which by the way, is not a crime. At least six of the kids were handcuffed, four of them at their elementary school. One girl fell to her knees as she was arrested. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8yearold with pigtails. Four of the 11 kids spent time in jail. Overseeing this was the countys only Juvenile Court judge who described her work as gods mission to discipline children. Somehow she still holds the job today. Just to understand how bad it was under the judges control. The statewide average to Juvenile Court was 5 . In Rutherford County was 5 . One of the coauthor of the piece joins me now. I think everyone who saw this story rightful across twitter was shocked and appalled. Thank you for coming and talking to us about it. How on earth this would happen where children are being routinely locked up by this judge . Yeah, this is a story about one county with a staggering history of detaining children. Like you said it all resulted from a mass arrest of 11 kids. It happened through a couple different mechanisms. The first part was decoloration, by the judge to Law Enforcement that every child arrested even more minor violations like truency was step one. Step two, once they were at the juvenile detention center, this Filter System as you described was applied to the children and what it meant was that any child could be kept if they were deemed a true threat. Thats direct quotes. True threat. However, in the manuel, there was no definition for what a true threat it. It was up to interpretation and the officer who was seeing that child before them to decide did they think they were a true threat and threat. Now obviously thats incredibly problematic. Seems to me the people deemed a true threat were black children, especially black boys. Well, the thing about Juvenile Court is to difficult to report on is that its all sealed. We dont know the records for children but we do know that yes, as this example showed with the 11 children, they were all black. Talking with lawyers who have represented children in her courtroom, overwhelmingly these are black and brown children. There were lawsuits attached to this. What happened with these families . Particularly the families of these little kids . Yes. So all 11 children sued in federal court. They had settlements. In many of those instance, there was money earmarked for counseling. One of the young girls, ej, had a few months of counseling. After this happened, she had terrible dreams. Scared to go back the school. Youre a child, youre scared someones going come in and arrest you at any point. You dont know. That was one aspect of it. The other aspect that is really important for this story is that because of this culmination of lawsuits and because a handful of them were taken by a group of three lawyers themselves, over the course of the year, seven lawsuits materialized around this Juvenile Court and the juvenile detention center. What that does is it cracks the door open into this secretive world of Juvenile Court and thats really the basis for this story that we told. We obviously found other aspects of Oversight Mechanisms that were completely woefully inadequate and didnt happen, but these cluster of lawsuits allowed us to look into this world that is usually shut off from the public. In order to protect children. And this was a Money Making Scheme in this county, my understanding. Is they made quite a bit of money doing it and this judge, how in the world is she still seated and what is becoming of her . Yeah, the money aspect is interesting. It is a little decoupled from the children at the top of the story. The fact of the matter is that they get 17 175 a day for every child they detain. One of the positive things about the lawsuit that came before the federal court, one of these many lawsuits, opt that Filter System, so it really made them curtail who they could take into their detention facility from their own county, but what that did was kind of allowed them to shift gears and market themselves to other counties around tennessee and that was actually, yeah. Yeah. So they started making money off of other children. So your question about the judge. Judges in tennessee are very hard to remove. Really its up to the voters. She is an elected official and it is up to the voters to decide they want another judge. One of the things thats really unique about this story is that she is the only Juvenile Court judge that this county has ever had. So no one else has ever held this position. Vote, vote, vote. And this is why you have to vote, to get rid of people like this judge. I thank you so much for being here and sharing this horrific story for us. Tonights absolute worse.

As an employeeowned company, recology provides goodpaying local jobs for san franciscans. Were proud to have built the citys Recycling System from the ground up, helping to make San Francisco the greenest big city in america. Lets keep Making A Differene together. Celebrities have the power to sway millions of people, which is why its so alarming when they spread vaccine disinformation. Eric clapton is the latest example, making News Today For Donating A Van and 1,000 pounds to british antivaxx group, jam for freedom. He participated in one of Van Morrisons four antilockdown concerts last year. Blaming provaccine propaganda. Clapton then released an antivaxx song, this has got to stop, and went on tour in red america where he took a picture with texas governor, greg abbott. What really stands out about white antivaxxers is that they act like they freedom had been taken from them. Like jim brewer, who blamed the cancellation of his shows on segregation and declared quote, im not going to be enslaved to the system. Yeah, because getting a free vaccine is exactly like slavery. Clapton is no different. He claimed Vaccine Mandates are discrimination. The lyrics include do you want to be a free man or you want to be a slave. As Rolling Stone puts it, he used a derogatory term to describe his friend in 1968 and went on a racist rant saying stop britain from becoming a black colony. Keep britain white. That was particularly shocking at the time because claptons music was heavily influenced, one might say, appropriated, from black musicians. One of his biggest hits was a cover of i shot the sheriff. As someone wrote clapton has apologized for his racist past, blaming it on his addictions, but his behavior over the past year is questionable. As Rolling Stone put it, he went from to becoming an outspoken vaccine skeptic. Did he change or was he always like this . I mean, maybe hes just a jerk. So eric clapton for your dangerous rhetoric, you are tonights absolute worst. Thats tonights reid out. All in with chris hayes starts now. Tonight we must all Demand Justice for ashley and her family. The leader of the Republican Party aligns with insurrection like never before. If i didnt accept the endorsement of a person thats got 91 of the Republican Voters in iowa, i wouldnt be too smart. And why a candidate for governor in texas suffering from covid is still tweeting antivaxx messages
