Weekly Roundup: “MLK Was a Bad Guy” + Fallout from Iowa

Brad and Dan begin by discussing the ways White evangelicals pushed Trump to victory and Iowa – and then dispel a bunch of myths about why White Christians keep voting for him. They also dig into reactions to a mainstream media source calling out Christian nationalism (hint: White Christian nationalists weren’t happy).

In the second segment the hosts examine Charlie Kirk’s characterization of MLK as “a bad guy” and his claims that the Civil Rights Act was a mistake because it signified a “refounding” of America.

The episode ends with analysis of the Texas National Guard’s conflict with Border Patrol – and the Americans who cheered on migrants dying in a river.
