Attorney Benjamin Crump releases a statement regarding Joe Biden's meeting with the Blake family, which the hosts label as propaganda. They also analyze comments from Kristen Clark of the DOJ, who links Jacob Blake to a legacy of civil rights activism. The hosts criticize Clark and Kamala Harris for speaking on behalf of American descendants of slavery (ADOS) despite their own immigrant backgrounds.
Senator Dick Durbin supports the nomination of Kristen Clarke to lead the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, invoking the legacy of Amos Akerman, the first Attorney General to prosecute the KKK during Reconstruction. Durbin emphasizes that Clarke will be the first Senate-confirmed woman of color in the role. The hosts analyze the "woman of color" branding and the strategic use of historical parallels.
Mo Facts observes a trend in the "powers that be" selecting leaders with non-African American lineages—such as Kristen Clarke, Susan Rice, and Kamala Harris—to represent Black Americans. He compares this to Barack Obama's need to marry Michelle Obama to gain "racial credibility," questioning why the same standard of cultural tethering is not applied to these handpicked female leaders.
