13:16Now Playing“Let’s speak in plain, tough language. Let’s call a fascist a fascist. Let’s call a liar a liar. I think one problem with, generally speaking, us progressives… is that we try to be so civil, so nice, and that’s not the game the other team is playing. We keep bringing spoons to a knife fight.”
In this episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,’ Mehdi Hasan sits down with award-winning novelist Don Winslow about the far-right threats that canceled part of his book tour, including online smear campaigns and death threats.
As an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, Winslow has become a target of the MAGA base. He also calls out the Democratic Party’s leadership for their many failures, as well as his thoughts on ICE’s violent takeover in Minnesota.
