There's no doubt that conservative media has become more cruel since Donald Trump became president. The cult-like devotion to Trump has driven this. Tucker Carlson's treatment of Sen. Tammy Duckworth is just the most recent example of this, so what does Joe think about how Duckworth -- his former political rival -- was treated? Joe explains in this episode.

36. The Cruelty of Conservative Media

In August of 2019, Joe Walsh did something he never expected he would do — he decided to run for president … against Donald Trump. Joe made that decision because he knew that President Trump had to be defeated, and no other Republican was willing to stand up and accept the challenge. Joe’s presidential campaign came to an end after the Iowa caucuses. He saw firsthand that Republican voters don’t want honesty or decency in the White House. They just want Donald Trump. It’s now clear: the Republican Party is a cult. The only option now is to make sure that Donald Trump is not re-elected in November. It’s incumbent on us as a country — and as citizens — to reject the current direction of the Republican Party and work to elect Democrats who are closest to our values.
