8.9.2023 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: DeSantis suspends Black state attorney; GOP prez candidate calls Juneteenth 'useless'; Niger coup
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspends a second state attorney. Monique Worrell's name gets wiped off the official website. She joins us tonight to talk about why DeSantis is targeting elected officials.
The GOP continues its anti-woke campaign. Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy calls Juneteenth a "useless" holiday, despite previously praising it as a symbol of the American dream. We will show you the speech that has ignited a firestorm.
There's an escalating crisis in Niger, where coup leaders are increasingly defiant. We will speak with the president and CEO of Believe in Africa, who will explain why and how the situation escalated.
The last former Minneapolis officer convicted for his role in George Floyd's death refused to accept responsibility for what he did at his sentencing. I'll show you what he told the judge, who wasn't happy.
