Episode five of The Rufus and Craig Show opens with a discussion of the recent snow and ice storms across the country, focusing on how the weather disruptions played out on social media through memes, complaints, and political commentary. The conversation then moves to several major stories circulating online, including the arrest of Don Lemon and the debate it sparked around journalism and activism, reactions involving Nicki Minaj, ongoing ICE activity and protests in Philadelphia, and the recent arrest of Olympic sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson. Throughout the episode, Rufus and Craig examine how social media shaped public perception of each story and amplified already-polarized reactions.
