“Racism has never been far below the surface in our country,” Sen. @maziehirono tells @mehdirhasan. “Asians in particular have always been viewed as the other, perpetual foreigners...there are people in our country who do not like people like me.”

“I am troubled by these repeated attacks on women and people of color,” former U.S. attorney @rachelkpaulose says, reflecting on GOP “allegations of being mean” against Vanita Gupta and others: “We don't have the luxury of the good old boys network of having things handed to us.”

There's no curfew in Minneapolis tonight. And while law enforcement is around the courthouse, they're not really engaging with the public.
"Police and demonstrators and protesters are not meeting tonight," says @AliVelshi. "And I would say everybody thinks that's a good thing."

WATCH: Derek Chauvin committed “a public lynching” and will pay a price, says @CornelWest. While it’s a welcome moment for George Floyd’s family, West tells @mehdirhasan, “That's not worthy of breakdancing, brother. That's one plus one equals two.”

"If there's one thing Mike Pompeo is not, it's subtle", says @mehdirhasan. The ex-Secy of State isn’t even deny a finding he made staffers carry out personal errands. But is his positioning for the presidency the “checkmate” he seems to think it is?
