This CNN clip shows everything that's wrong with America

This CNN segment where professor Michael Eric Dyson and Congresswoman Nancy Mace clashed kind of sums up everything that's wrong with American politics. I break it down in this episode of the Brad vs Everyone podcast.

Plus, a left-wing TikToker explains why she disowned her friend and refused to be in her wedding, and I react to your comments.

I'm so tired of them redirecting everything back onto race and gender.

[Sbj]

If someone mis pronounces my name I don’t care at all. This is so petty.

[stevenlaurin]

They ignored everything she said and turned it to only racism, sad way to have a discussion

[SLIMJIMNIM]

It's a name. It shouldn't have gotten tgat serious for a name. To immediately call her a racist and "just a white person" is crazy to say on live television.

[positivelysimful]

They're really just arguing which syllable is stressed in her first name? That's the issue they choose to fixate on?

[dreamweaver]

I'm so freaking tired of people claiming you can't criticize someone if they're black. And I mean criticize them for policy proposals. If you're running for president of the United States, you have to be able to take criticism.

[svetlanaandrasova]

I cant even get thru first 5 seconds. Those people wont let each other talk. Thats not a discussion. They refuse to listen and respect each other.

Before Harris was VP, if you called her black, you would be corrected that she was half Indian. I love how now that it is politically better to say black, she is black. That is what Trump was saying, and they all know it.

'𝙋𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙮...'

Except for these racists on TikTok who think they're legends in their own minds.

That black woman who bragged about cutting off a friend came off as such a bully to me. The fact she feels the need to cut people out for political reasons should make her sad, not bubbling with contemptuous joy. At least she sounded fun, she should be a comedian.

[ttsuyaguy]

Also, Dyson is a worthless race-baiter. I have literally never seen him add anything of value to any of the far-too-many conversations I've seen him participate in.

Biden just called trump “Donald Dump” and got a big cheer. Is MED complaining about that? (I don’t like trump but I do like principles.)

[joantroutman]

People mispronounce my name all the time especially in Doctor's offices. I just politely correct them and move on. Honestly I have never been sure how to pronounce Kamala. They sound like a bunch of arguing children.

[johnbeard]

This interview is so embarrassing on both sides. We're doomed y'all.

[Zfactor]

I kinda dont blame Nancy Mace for acting extreme when she was surrounded by people screaming at her.

I had one of my best friends block me on everything because I supported Trump and I didn't blame George Floyd's death on Trump and switch to supporting Biden so she screamed at me, blocked me then posted on instagram saying I was a racist and legitimately made up things Ive never said to tell people I said.

[courtneywallace]

Though I think Trump would have been better had he never made those comments, he was NOT questioning her black heritage, but rather that she flip flops on how she identifies depending on her audience.

[hannahsarthub]

People mispronounce my daughter’s name all the time. Never occurred to me to be offended by it.

[stevenlaurin]

Best lesson I learned in life is "You can be HAPPY or you can be RIGHT but you can rarely be both"

[Tee]

OMG listening to adults talk like that took me back to my childhood and getting into arguments of I'm right you're wrong. I can not believe those were fully grown adults acting that way. All of them needed to be sent to the rooms tell they figure out what they did wrong and say I'm sorry to each other.

[crspwl]

My Mother always told me, "Do whatever makes you happy as long as you aren't hurting anyone".
