- 20 minutes 11 secondsShould Bipartisan Politics Die? | MiniPod
Apparently, we’re The Ops for supporting bipartisan politics...
On last week’s show, NLP defended House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries after he met with Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. As a leader, you have to talk to the other side.
Many of y’all were calling NLP “bought and sold,” “AIPAC,” etc., and others had more serious critiques. We’ll respond to all.
Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for a conversation about political tactics and bi-partisanship.
