13:22Now PlayingFitness trainer and TV personality Jillian Michaels was on Abby Phillip’s CNN show recently making some wild claims about how slavery wasn’t that bad, wasn’t just committed by white people, and wasn’t actually that big of a part of the country’s founding because “only 2%” of Americans owned slaves… We have so many questions y’all–like how does this person with no journalism or history experience get featured on a CNN panel, but first, we have to address some of her claims and misleading “facts.” We’ll hear from Nikole Hannah-Jones herself (the creator of the 1619 project), the hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross, and more.
