It’s 1970, Richard Nixon is president and the United States is at war in Vietnam. In a new book, “The Hardhat Riot,” author and journalist David Paul Kuhn chronicles a day known as Bloody Friday, when anti-war protesters and construction workers clashed in Lower Manhattan. He joined Errol to explain how, at the time, New York City was a microcosm of class divide and how that was the day that sparked a shift of the white working class towards the Republican Party, forever shaping American politics. And he discussed how the events of that era ultimately led to Trump presidency and what lessons should be learned heading into Election Day.
