Listen "Is saying "go back to where you came from" racist?"
Episode Synopsis
Trump's recent tweet suggesting that "progressive Democrat Congresswomen" (which many believe is referring to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Omar, Rep. Pressley and Rep. Tlaib, aka The Squad) go back to where they came from has caused an uproar from the Left who believe it is more evidence of his racism. But is his tweet actually racist? Is the word 'racism' overused? What is the difference between explicit and implicit racism or other biases? And ultimately what does this latest political controversy mean for the 2020 election?
