EA-PoliticsJOE VideoCast: Will Trump Lose Support Over The Execution in Minneapolis?
In a 53-minute special, I joined The Focus’s John Bruni to analyze the Trump camp’s attempt to “break communities in Minnesota” with shock troops — including their killing of Renee Nicole Good and execution of Alex Pretti — and the wider prospect of authoritarianism in the US.
I take apart the Trumpist disinformation and highlight their use of violence to intimidate and harm not only immigrants but also US citizens. I point to those beyond Donald Trump, including J.D. Vance and Stephen Miller, who may be more important in the quest. And I consider if this can be pushed back across America.
Minnesota is a catalyst. The country where I was born and raised now has an authoritarian regime.
I know exactly what those words mean. I know how loaded they are.
But we have to call this out now.
