The Texting Scandal Disrupting the Virginia Election (ft. Don Scott)

Virginia voters will elect its new governor in less than a month — and the race has big national implications. Jessica is joined by Don Scott, Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, to talk through what’s at stake. They also discuss the rhetoric of political violence, why Democrats are standing their ground in government shutdown negotiations, and how we can start saying the Emperor has no clothes. Plus — Don Scott’s unconventional road to elected office includes serving seven years in federal prison. Should the Democrats recruit more “damaged goods” candidates?
