Summary
Host Reed Galen is joined by Charlie Sykes (Publisher of To The Contrary and MSNBC Columnist) to discuss why Liz Cheney’s recent endorsement of Kamala Harris is such a big deal, why the Republican Party will never be able to return back to its pre-Trump form, and why a return to values-based messaging through a patriotic lens may be the key to a pro-democratic outcome in November. Plus, is it really all that surprising that so many MAGA influencers in the right-wing media bubble are funded by the Russians?
