Greg Sargent Is Chronicling The Culture Wars

On Democracy with FPWellman - A podcast by Fred Wellman - Fridays

Greg Sargent is a columnist with the Washington Post and the first returning guest. He joined The Post in 2010, after stints at Talking Points Memo, New York Magazine, and the New York Observer. He is the author of the 2018 book ‘An Uncivil War: Taking Back Our Democracy in an Age of Trumpian Disinformation and Thunderdome Politics.’ Fred and Greg touch on a range of issues in this conversation including the effort to oust Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs committee, the impact of DeSantis’ stupid ‘Stop WOKE’ and ‘Don’t say Gay’ laws on school libraries, and how Democrats can fight back in these culture wars. Fred also fires off on the idea that Democrats shouldn’t support candidates in long shot races.
