Somehow there are still only two people continuing to call former President Donald Trump out—and neither one is a man. The hosts of the New Abnormal politics podcast find that interesting.
New York state Attorney General Letitia “Tish” James and the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, Fani Willis are “the only people who are doing this because everyone else is too much of a fucking coward,” Molly Jong-Fast tells the show’s host Andy Levy.
“It’s just interesting to me. We got so many people in Trumpworld where Trump has done stuff and they’ve been like, ‘Well, let’s let it ride. He’s rich, he’s white. He has an implanted wig. People love him. We don’t want to upset people.’
“The two people who are holding him accountable are Black women. I just think it’s worth thinking about.”
Speaking of something worth thinking about, Asawin Suebsaeng, senior politics reporter at Rolling Stone, joins this episode to reveal how the relationship between “spiritual adviser to the stars” Jacob Shmuel “Shmuley” Boteach, aka Rabbi Schmuley, and Dr. Mehmet Oz has turned sour over recent months.
“The reason the relationship is important is because this celebrity rabbi and this celebrity TV host and doctor have been buddies for a long time going back years,” Suebsaeng says. “This is someone who at the beginning of Dr. Oz’s campaign for this Senate seat was effusively praising Oz, saying he is one of America’s most famous or foremost doctors.”
