This is NOT Normal! The Media Needs To STOP Trying To Act Like It (w/ Tom Nichols) | Bulwark Podcast

Trump tried to pencil out literal words in the Constitution and then freed 1,500 violent insurrectionists—while the media attempted to normalize it all. Meanwhile, much attention is being paid to Elon's salute, and not enough to the facts that he has an office at the White House, he's a government contractor, and he paid a quarter of billion dollars to get Trump elected. Plus, most of Trump's other executive orders were pissy and petty, the 80s can no longer be called the decade of greed after Monday's Hunger Games vibe, and the Democrats are going to have a hard time resisting a risky 'eat the rich' path.
