Summary
Bulwark: “a person, institution, or principle that acts as a defense.” The Bulwark was founded in 2018 as three former conservative Republicans decided to put country over party and defend all of us from Donald Trump. Charlie Sykes, a very successful conservative radio talk-show host was one of the founders and he joins Bill today to assess the danger still caused by Donald Trump and his MAGA cult supporters. And the danger from the right-wing stalking horse, No Labels. You can check out Charlie's fabulous news and opinion website at TheBulwark.com.
Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by The United Food and Commercial Workers Union. More information at UFCW.org.
