No 'Dissenting Opinion' Is Safe From 'Incarceration'

In this powerful interview for ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,’ Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley tells Mehdi how the Trump administration has completely ignored due process, and explains just how dire the implications are of cases like Rümeysa Öztürk.

“This is laying the ground foundationally and will be a threat to everyone. This means that this could be you tomorrow for suffering a miscarriage, because in Trump's America, that's been criminalized. This means this could be you tomorrow for reading a banned book,” Pressley says. “With this dictator in chief, simply because you have a dissenting opinion from his worldview, you could find yourself incarcerated.”

Mehdi asks Pressley about President Donald Trump’s first 100 days of his second term, as well as the state of the Democratic party.

“I do not believe, Mehdi, that this is about weathering the next four years. I believe this will dictate the next 100,” Pressley says to Mehdi.
