Trump Sends Military After Protesters in Authoritarian Move | Pivot

Kara and Scott discuss the protests in Los Angeles, and dig into Trump's escalating authoritarian tactics. Then, they debate how the Democratic Party should fight back.

Discovery confirms it’s splitting into two companies, just as Kara and Scott predicted. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 0:39 L.A.
