Mediaite editor in chief Aidan McLaughlin speaks with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Wesley Lowery about his new book "American Whitelash: A Changing Nation and the Cost of Progress." It's a deeply reported book examining how racial progress, like the election of the first black president Barack Obama in 2008, has been met throughout history with a backlash, which can manifest in extreme violence. Lowery discusses his book, how the backlash has been fueled by the media, and whether the press has learned anything about covering Trump.
