this morning, congresswoman nancy mace slammed the more hardline faction of the party. i watched this interview and i thought it was notable that she was using some of these terms, fashioning herself as a moderate. here is what she had to say. my home state, they want women required and mandated to report whenever raped. i just can t imagine a world where you re a girl, a teenage girl who has been raped to have to report those things. a hands maid tale is not supposed to be a road map. it will be an issue in november if we are not moderating ourselves, that we are including women who have been raped. barbara, i thought that was striking, saying the hand maid s tale was not supposed to be a road map. do you think that republicans and putting folks like kavanaugh, amy coney barrett on the supreme court, mitch
people feel insulted. people in the middle of the country believe that hollywood only portrays things in a certain way as though they are the butt of the joke, that their views aren t respected. brian, is the trump presidency now the driving force behind a lot of scripted television? that s what s remarkable is it really is. there s so many show runners, writers and producers who either take jabs at trump in their scripts or write plot lines who are influenced in the trump presidency. the hands maid tale on hulu had a dialogue that sounded a little too much that sounded like make america great again. so they took it out. but other shows lean-in and attack him savagely. the producers of will and grace said to us all the easy jokes about trump have now been made. we have to be clever, we can t be cheap when it comes to
