Tom Nichols: The Cat Was in the Basement
Summary
<div>JD Vance thought he had confirmation of his Haitian migrant conspiracy when a Springfield, OH resident filed a police report about her missing cat. But Miss Sassy was just in the basement, safe and sound. More seriously, Vance and Trump want everyone who's not on their team to shut up, so they can rile up their supporters and prime people for violence. Meanwhile, has the MAGA duo become such losers that even Joe Rogan and the bro-sphere have had enough? <br /><br /><strong>Tom Nichols </strong>joins Tim Miller.<br /><br /><em>show notes:<br /></em><br /><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2024/09/trump-is-no-gerald-ford/679900/?gift=AO0MhSsTDaHgiP_RxFGfBxtRU-hxzXiDrMxDhOz9rBA&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share">Tom on Trump using an assassination attempt to inflame politics<br /></a><br /></div>
