The differing opinions of AOC and Carvelle prompted Virginia’s ABC affiliate to tweet, “AOC says Terry McAuliffe lost because he wasn’t ‘woke’ enough, Carville says the opposite.”
Michael Harriot, senior writer for The Root and whose latest column is “An Open Letter From the Woke Mob to Aaron Rodgers,” joins Charles Blow on “Prime” to discuss the “woke” term.
All this and more on “Prime.”
