WHCD Assassination Attempt & The Redistricting "Five-Alarm Fire" | On The Record
White House Correspondent Ebony McMorris sits down with Reverend Al Sharpton for a definitive look at the headlines shaking the nation. 🏛️🎙️
We begin with the fallout from the White House ...Correspondents' Dinner shooting, analyzing the "unusual" security response and the political blame game coming from the administration. Rev. Al, a survivor of political violence himself, addresses the hypocrisy of federal rhetoric and the pushback from Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
We then dive into the Department of Justice’s move to reschedule marijuana. Is moving it from Schedule I to Schedule III enough? Rev. Al explains why this is a half-measure that ignores generations of ruined lives, calling for full Presidential Pardons and expungements.
Finally, we sound the alarm on the redistricting battles in Florida and Virginia. With Governor Ron DeSantis stacking the Florida Supreme Court to legalize gerrymandering, Rev. Al breaks down the anti-democratic playbook used to dilute Black voting power. 🗳️✊🏾
