Summary

Don takes on a persistent and deeply dishonest narrative: that the left is “normalizing antisemitism.” The reality is that it’s coming from the Republican Party.

A sharp, unflinching breakdown of hypocrisy, power, and why misdirected panic only helps extremism thrive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
