One Detroit – Politics 2021 / Lori Higgins / Fixing the Districts / Banished words

  • Politics 2021 with Stephen & Nolan: An attempted coup at the Capitol and history made in Georgia senate races
    “I’ve been a Republican all my adult life. This is not the party of Ronald Reagan. This is not the party of George H. W. Bush. This is the party now of Donald Trump, and I really want no part of it.” – Nolan Finley
    “This is the definition of insurrection. This is an attempted coup and is supported by the President of the United States.” – Stephen Henderson
    One Detroit contributors Nolan Finley and Stephen Henderson discuss the recent storming of the Capitol by pro-Trump supporters, the historic results of the senate races in Georgia, and whether or not the Republican party will have a post-Trump era any time soon.
