Were Democrats a little late in defending Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Right’s racist attacks?
@RepBowman tells @MehdiRHasan the party hasn’t been “nearly as loud as we have needed to be.”

“Anybody who is banning history is trying to hide history. A lot of what the Republican Party at this point is trying to conceal: how we’ve arrived at this point, including the white supremacist ideas,” @JYSexton tells @MehdiRHasan.

"Anti-Blackness hasn't just been about lynchings and slavery and being cruel to Black people. It also requires white people intimidating white institutions from being allies to Black people," @KarenAttiah explains to @MehdiRHasan:

The DeSantis war on education no longer affects just Florida. As @mehdirhasan points out in Sunday’s opening monologue, what will be taught to the best and brightest public high school students nationwide about black history has been changed, and he finds the timing suspicious:

.@mehdirhasan doesn't normally discuss colonoscopies on this show. But when a prominent doctor argues it's better to let nature take its course once you turn 75, it's time to ask the tough questions.

Is it worth living past age 75? It's a controversial statement that goes against our natural survival instincts. But one top doc says that's the max he hopes to live.
@mehdirhasan lays out Dr. @ZekeEmanuel's argument, ahead of a fascinating conversation.

What does living to a ripe old age look like to you? Well, for @ZekeEmanuel, it looks like 75 — and after that, he’ll refuse most medical interventions.
He joins @mehdirhasan to discuss his approach. Don’t miss their convo on @MSNBConPeacock: peacocktv.com/mehdi

MTG's playbook is playing to the GOP base — and she'll do whatever it takes to stay in power, @JC4Constitution says: “The last person she has to turn on is Donald Trump, and if given the opportunity, she absolutely will.”

The release of body camera footage from Paul Pelosi’s brutal attack has not stopped the right-wing conspiracy theorists. @AymanM tells @MehdiRHasan how “truly wild” it is that even after producing video evidence, the far-right still refuses to believe it.

“I looked around and I saw my Muslim friends facing a similar kind of hate, I felt an empathy toward them,” @JSeftel shares on how his own experiences with prejudice informed his creation of “Stranger at the Gate,” an Oscar-nominated documentary short film.

.@KhalilGMuhammad responds to claims racism didn’t play a role in the death of Tyre Nichols.
“It’s nonsense that Black and brown officers have not been part of the problem of systemic racism and policing. It’s a fact and it’s well documented,” he tells @MehdiRHasan.

Although the five officers charged over the death of Tyre Nichols were Black, that doesn’t mean race didn’t play a factor.
@MehdiRHasan explains why it’s not only naïve to assume Nichols’ murder can’t be racist, it’s also ahistorical, ignorant, and just plain disingenuous.

More than 20 years after 9/11, Islamophobia is ever present in the U.S. — and especially in the GOP. And “the only way to fight hate is with love,” @IlhanMN says. She tells @mehdirhasan: “If we shy away and diminish our positions...this level of hate will continue to increase.”
