Description

Emily reacts to former President Barack Obama’s final interview on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast and dismantles his narrative about the dangers of authoritarianism under Trump as profoundly hypocritical, pointing to Obama’s own record of drone warfare, weaponizing the IRS, expanding the surveillance state, and using executive orders to create campus “kangaroo courts.”
