Episode 3: "The Meanest, Dirtiest, Low-Down Stuff"

  • Summary

  • Republicans claim the election was stolen. They use those claims to justify suppressing people’s 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 – in the early 1960s. And how it’s both a parallel to our present moment and the origin of conflicts playing out today.

    Featuring Guests:

    Rick Perlstein, historian, author of Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus

    Sherrilyn Ifill, Vernon Jordan Endowed Chair in Civil Rights at Howard University and former President and Director-Counsel of LDF.

    Jim Brosnahan, lawyer and author of Justice At Trial: Courtroom Battles and Groundbreaking Cases
