In 2016, Rakeem “Keem” Jones made national news when he was elbowed in the face at a rally for then presidential candidate Donald Trump. The incident happened when Jones and his group were being escorted out of an arena in Fayetteville, North Carolina after getting into a verbal sparring match with another group.

On this week’s episode of Tying It Together With Tim Boyum, Tim and Ben tracked down Jones to discuss what happened before and after the incident, his thoughts on the 2020 election, and the push for social justice he is now leading in Fayetteville.  

It's a conversation you don't want to miss and really tackles the problems facing our towns, state, and nation.
