Officer Tatum lacks listening skills, and I don’t let people lie without correcting the record.
I also want you to pay attention to the tactic many conservatives use in debates: when the facts get uncomfortable, they pivot, deflect, and avoid answering the question. Earlier in this conversation, I pointed out that Garrett Graves, a white conservative, represented North Baton Rouge for a decade and failed to make the kind of transformational investments our communities deserved. Instead of addressing that reality, the conversation was redirected.
We shouldn’t be afraid to expose misinformation. If we don’t challenge lies, people make decisions based on bad information instead of facts.
