FiredUp Ep 120 - Disney, CRT, and Presidential Debates 2024

On this episode of FiredUp

We hear a speech given by Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow (D) who gives a powerful response to false allegations about her used in a fundraising ad. Her words should be a Democratic strategy lesson in how to respond to right-wing, Qanon propaganda in the campaign sphere.

We explore the motives behind FL Gov. DeSantis and the FL Republicans with their new law targeting the Disney Corp as punishment for their public opposition  to the “Don’t Say Gay” education reforms bill and the repeal of two laws giving Disney self-rule over the area they occupy.

We also dive into Critical Race Theory again with aa more expansive explainer article from the Assoc. Press.

Lastly, we will talk about the Republicans pulling out of the Presidential Debates leading up to the 2024 general election. We offer an interesting response for the Democratic party to take.
