Harris-Walz Campaign Holds First Rally & Republicans Call Walz "Tampon Tim" | Barbara McQuade

Michael Kosta on Tim Walz's debut at Philadelphia's rowdy Harris rally, the GOP struggle to find an attack line on the new VP candidate, and Republicans descending into tampon turmoil. Plus, Troy Iwata investigates why Trump is calling Harris and Walz communists and discovers other secret commies. And, with Kamala Harris now the nominee, conservatives are breaking out their old standbys: racism and misogyny. In a new installment of "In My Opinion," Charlamagne Tha God refutes the right's claims that Harris is a DEI hire who lies about her race, and calls on the media to help filter out the bulls**t. Then, University of Michigan Law School professor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade joins to discuss her new book, “Attack From Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.” She explains how “disinformation” — the deliberate use of lies — is different from misinformation, how tactics like declinism and nostalgia are being used by the far-right in the current election cycle, and how regular Americans can take control by advocating for social media regulations and staying media literate.
