Episode 3: “The Meanest, Dirtiest, Low-Down Stuff”
Republicans claim the election was stolen. They use those claims to justify suppressing peopleβs right to vote. All of it happening amid a national reckoning on race. Rachel Maddow and Isaac-Davy Aronson tell the story of a time uncannily similar to our own β in the early 1960s. And how itβs both a parallel to our present moment and the origin of conflicts playing out today.
