“If you never have a test, you’ll never have a testimony”: Joshua Johnson on the Black church and the Democratic party

Joshua Johnson, host of NOW Tonight with Joshua Johnson, talks about the role that the Black Chuck plays in Democratic politics, the subject of this week’s “Meet the Press Reports.”
