Podcast appearances and mentions of Jonathan Capehart

Last week saw the reemergence of Donald Trump as he pushed the Big Lie from Mar A Lago and the GOP leadership forced its members to get in line or get out of the way. Liz Cheney tried to push back but found herself in the crosshairs of Kevin McCarthy who instead of moving on from the election has made it the central theme of the GOP. Meanwhile, the SDNY has found itself with a treasure trove of dirt inside Rudy Giuliani's hard drive. Could their appointing of a so called, “Special Master,” to sort through files be a sign that they're getting ready to flip Trump's other former lawyer? Finally, MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart joins Mea Culpa to discuss the GOP's sidelining of Liz Cheney, what happened to Tim Scott and so much more.    To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
