Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse discuss recent comments by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez about just how broken and dysfunctional congress really is. At the 30-minute mark, they're joined by Army Veteran Marcus Flowers who shares what motivated him to run for congress in Georgia against Marjorie Taylor Greene, and why extremism and disinformation are such a threat to America.
"Marcus Flowers has spent his entire career defending the United States. First – he served as an active duty member of the US Army, followed by more than 20 years as a contractor or official for the State Department and Department of Defense.
Marcus has spent a decade in combat zones around the world and has worked on four continents. He has seen first hand the damage done by extremism and disinformation, and he WILL NOT let Marjorie Taylor Greene take us down the same path here in America. Her conspiracy theories may have made her famous, but they haven’t done a thing to help the people in this district."
