Rick Sanchez and show producer Scotty Mednick dissect the recent scandal involving Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez who was secretly recorded making tasteless comments about a colleague and his African American son. While they both agree that the comments were rude and showed bad form, they were not racist and Martinez should not have been forced to resign. Sanchez asks why no Latino leader came to her aid and why he’s the only one defending her. Crisis management expert Evan Nierman joins the conversation and explains that the current trend of cancel culture sweeping the country is dangerous, un-American, and destroying people’s lives. Nierman contends that we cannot allow internet mobs to become the judges, jurors, and executioners of what is right and wrong. RSN_S1_E0050 Learn more about your ad choices.
