show the world that it s 2021 and in glynn county a black man can finally get equal justice under the law. well, kirk, let s talk more about race. the judge pointed out racial bias in jury selection and vice president kamala harris noted the racist troepz used by the defense saying, the defense counsel chose to set a tone that cast the attendance of ministers at the trial as intimidation and dehumanized a young black man with racist tropes. the jury arrived at its verdict despite these tactics. what does it say that the jury was able to see past all the racist tropes and dirty tricks, one? and two, do you think it was important that race wasn t really argued before the jury? well, starting with the latter, the race almost did not need to be argued with the jury. now, that sounds a little ridiculous because jurors can
silvis about this recently. this is age-old anti-semitic troepz. this is the blood libel. the idea of the illuminati, the nasdaqi says the jews were drinking the blood of children. qanon people claim celebrities, democrats and others are drinking the blood of children for some bizarre chemical. what have they been saying? you ve been following qanon channels since the news of the father murdering his children. what are they saying about it? saying it s like a false flag? do they what is it? so basically, i went through with your producer the qanon channels and there was only one channel that even mentioned it because they were referencing a fox news show. and they said it s a false flag. but what we re we have such a short memory. there have been at least half a dozen instances of parents, mostly women, killing their
