Under the campaign and presidency of Donald Trump, America has witnessed a rise in hate crimes, anti-Semitic incidents, anti-Muslim violence, and a resurgence of white supremacy like never before. Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and George Selim, senior vice president of programs at the Anti-Defamation League, join Igor and guest host Ed Chung, a former prosecutor of hate crimes at the U.S. Department of Justice, to discuss the face of hate in America; what has fueled the rise in these incidents; what individuals, states, and the federal government can do to combat hate at every level; and why we have seen a lack of outrage from our politicians.
