What's the scariest issue facing America today? Is it ICE terrorizing
neighborhoods and tackling brown children and their fathers on the way
to school? Is it our senile wannabe fuhrer wandering lost in front of
Japanese dignitaries? The cutting of SNAP benefits amidst the still
ongoing government shutdown, leaving thousands of Americans starving and without pay? Is it Project 2025 and all the ways it plans to turn the
United States into another Russia? NOPE! It's the brown, Muslim
immigrant who wants to be Mayor of NYC! Zohran Mamdani continues to be
the Democratic Socialist boogie man haunting Republicans AND the
Democrats. Tonight on TJRS we are joined by our friend in triggering the
right: Wajahat Ali as well as Rep Andre Carson to discuss the not so
subtle Islamaphobia and racism that underpins much of the hand-wringing
about a potential Mamdani Mayoral term.
We are also joined by Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey to discuss the
ravages Trump's ending of SNAP benefits is doing to American families.
Followed by representatives Ro Khanna, and Jonathan Jackson to discuss
the racist gerrymandering of red states and the potential passing of
Prop 50.
Next, Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, followed by Jordan
Wood of Maine both of whom are running in Democratic primaries for U.S.
Senate join us talk about a wide range of issues including tax cuts vs
healthcare, the Nazi-esque tattoo of another Maine primary candidate,
the racist attacks against Rep Krishnamoorthi lobbed by people on the
right, and what changes are needed in the way the Democratic Party
operates.
Finally, all of this culminates in a very cute and fuzzy (and much
needed) moment of Joy! All of this tonight on The Joy Reid Show.
