Sarah, Steve, Jonah, and David discuss the president's walk across Lafayette Square, protests around country sparked by George Floyd's death, Steve King's primary loss and what it says about the future of the GOP, protesting in the age of social distancing, and journalism ethics.

I'm shocked there wasn't more reaction to David's deep metaphor about the GOP comparison to Jupiter and Io. Did you just think of that on the fly? I just watched the planets Nova series on Amazon, so the comparison was fresh for me. Like some sort of nerdy Shakespeare
Ok folks, my first complaint and criticism of The Dispatch.
That last 10 minute debate about tear gas, pepper spray, riot control agent, etc. was a huge waste of our time. As Jonah kept saying, the bigger picture was lost in this stupid debate.
I didn't know about anything other than tear gas - so I see no issue with the term being used in the moment - as a generic reference. The media could have easily helped themselves by later saying, yes, technically I was incorrect. It was pepper balls and not tear gas - but they essentially have the same effect.
That's it! That's all you needed to say. Then get back to the real issues.
I'll give you a pass this time - because up to now everything has been great. But please don't waste my time with this type of nonsensical debate in the future.
Just my opinion. Thanks!
