Episode: The Declaration Of Independence Tried To Warn Us | Chauncey Devega
Description: As the conservative right wingers bristled at NPR's literal quoting of the Declaration of Independence in a twitter thread, co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton & Nick Hauselman examine the document's words as they lay out a stark warning about King George III that could easily be applied to Donald Trump. Plus, Jared interviews Chauncey Devega, politics writer for Salon, as they discuss the perilous precipice that our democracy balances on.
