NEW EPISODE📻

1/ Despite a peaceful transfer of power during Joe Biden's swearing in as the 46th president of the U.S., there's still a long shadow cast by the White supremacist and anti-immigrant forces that brought President Trump to power. revealnews.org/episodes/a-tra…

2/ In the episode, @Appalachia100 reporter @GWOTTrapLordz describes what it was like on the scene in Washington during the inauguration.

3/ Then, we hear from two D.C. residents who tell us what the attack on the Capitol meant for those who call the surrounding area home.

@anjucomet spoke to one of them: a 24-year-old Army veteran who says that her D.C. is not the D.C. much of the country sees from a distance.

4/ Later in the show, we try to understand why White evangelicals gravitate toward the former president.

@sarahposner, a journalist who has covered the Christian right for years, breaks it down.

5/ We also hear from @robertjeffress, senior pastor of Dallas megachurch First Baptist.

The pastor is one of many evangelical Christians who support Trump, even though many of Trump’s actions seem at odds with Christian values.

6/ Finally, we end our show with some words of inspiration from Youth Poet Laureate @TheAmandaGorman, who delivered her poem “The Hill We Climb” at the inauguration.
