2024 Presidential candidate Dr. Cornel West returns to Bad Faith to discuss the recent controversy surrounding his tweet offering prayers for the family of recently deceased Russian political prisoner Alexei Navalny, the perverse incentives built into left media, and why he's lost the "deep respect" he once held for Dr. Jill Stein. Are these petty grievances, or something more? Dr. West also offers an update on the status of his campaign, including important ballot access issues.
