Quiet Riot: Sunday School - SHOTS FIRED The moment that shook America, with Brian Klaas
Manage episode 428846918 series 3575894
Alex Andreou talks to author and politics professor Brian Klaas about the attempt on Trump's life - a moment of violence that is as shocking as it was predictable.
"The US is a fundamentally broken society... All of the ingredients for political violence are in the US and have been for many years. The reason there hasn't been a high-profile assassination attempt in the US in the last few years is dumb luck. And the luck just run out."
"It is clearly the case that there are extremists in both parties. There are definitely extremists in the Democratic party as well as the Republican party. The difference is that the extremists in the Republican party are in charge."
"It is simultaneously true that all political violence in a democracy is abhorrent, unacceptable, and needs to be denounced unequivocally. It is also true that Donald Trump and his political movement pose a serious and unprecedented risk to American democracy. And the former should not stop us from pointing out the latter."
"Anyone who tells you they know how it's going to turn out is not telling the truth."
