Ari Drennen, LGBTQ Program Director at Media Matters for America, joins us to discuss the latest in the anti-trans panic. This time, right-wing talking heads using the Nashville shooting on Monday to further their crusade against trans people and, despite transparently hollow calls in the past to not “politicize” mass shootings, doing exactly that this week. We discuss the weird obsession right wing media figures have with the trans community and polling illustrates their animus toward trans people isn’t shared by a majority of Americans.
