listening to this in 2023, its like holy gaslighting batman, we all lived through the Trump administration, Trump wasnt driving anything during his presidency.
Quite a bit of what he says is: "Regardless of what it was, or how we did it – it was popular."
Ken went to Epstein’s Island 9 times while a Cub Scout group from the Philippines was there each and every time. I’m not implying he did anything. I’m just straight out saying that Ken has an affinity for small boys. Any questions?
Cuccinelli is a January 6 conspirator and trump insurrectionist.
Chinit
They learned nothing. They ginned up racism and fear.
What an interview.
Interviewer is magnificent!
The title of this series captured my curiosity but soon as I noticed PBS. I said ahhh just another hit job.
Excellent series PBS.
The sweet spot was pure old American white supremacy….And as for enforcing laws, why does that only apply to black/brown people and immigrants but not Trump and his cronies? Ill wait.
he kept an innocent man jonathan montgomery in prison.
Anda recogiendo tus cachibaches ya te queda poco….
white people talk about Trump coming down the golden escalator like it came out of the New Testament
Ken Cuccinelli‘s great grand father and mother migrated to the United States from Italy. A descendent from poor Italian immigrants advocating for anti-immigration policies.
Isn't he just so cute?
🙊💛
Mexico has been infiltrated by the cartel at every level and is a failed state. Some places in South America are worse. America must have strong borders and only let the best in.
These interviews show what journalism can be. Brief, open ended questions with a relaxed guest who isn't being attacked with MSM talking points and who is given the time needed to provide complete, nuanced answers. I actually learned something. Much appreciated PBS.
I live in VA. Dave Bratt spoke intelligent common sense facts. He never settled to just pandering he stood for science, laws and responsibilities. Hard facts hold great rewards for those willing to suffer for laws for all and freedoms God given.
MAGA WWG1WGA
I used to love Frontline. Grew up with it.
Now that their bias is showing, I'll never have anything to do with Frontline again.
I'll watch their older episodes. They're dead to me…
"Yes! Since my confirmation bias has been confirmed, I agree with the speaker! I was shocked to find that Frontline published the entire interview, because MSM is part of the deep state! I disliked other videos in this series because they didn't confirm my bias! I will immediately turn away from anything that remotely challenges my already established views, because MSM and the deep state! Any republican who points to nuances that lie within such difficult subjects is a RINO! Long live our dear leader! 'Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that.'"
I watched FRONTLINE and DEMOCRACY NOW for decades. Now my skin crawls at the mention of their names.
Two questions for Frontline…1) did Cuccinelli insist that his tantrum like meltdown on the RNC Delegate Convention Floor against Trump not be brought up? and 2) Rather than Zero Tolerance, why not name the program “Who is Evil Stephen Miller and why his power threatens the Uniparty’s future on open bordersâ€?
You can tell by listening to him speak he is a very intelligent person.
Go Trump.
Keep America Safe, Strong and Prosperous.
I became a Federal CBP Officer and quit after 2 1/2 years, because it was bullshit.
Well the difference was the re PJ publicans didnt have a voting majority the dems have
I've seen many in the MSM underestimate Cuccinelli since he is a gentleman and relatively soft-spoken. My word of advice to them: don't confuse kindness with weakness.
after watching this, form your own opinion and don't bother with the final frontline show Zero tolerence it is not objective but some how presents a spin, that I just can't see in what this interview is saying . I am glad i watched this full interview before the broadcasted episode which spins everything into their narrative, I don't understand why they ignore the message that Cuccinelli was saying. DOCA was illegal but PBS didn't want the viewers to be aware of it.
