9:19Now PlayingIn news that has sent shock waves through Capitol Hill, House Speaker Paul Ryan has announced he will not seek reelection this fall. Over 40 House Republicans have announced they will resign or retire, including nine chairmen of committees, leading many to speculate Republicans are fearing a blue wave will bring a Democratic majority to power in November. The most prominent Republican contender for Ryan’s seat is Paul Nehlen, a white nationalist and antiSemite who has called for deporting all Muslims from the United States. For more, we speak with Corey Robin, a professor of political science at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He is the author of “The Reactionary MindConservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump,” which The New Yorker called “the book that predicted Trump.”
