Description
For the free episode this week, we are UNLOCKING a bonus episode from back in April on Ilhan Omar and Patriotism. We are doing this for unfortunately timely reasons, in light of Trump's bigoted, xenophobic attacks that then were amplified by a chanting crowd at his rally soon thereafter.
