Cokie Roberts: Images from Past Week ‘Show the Country Is a Very, Very Different Country’

STEPHANOPOULOS: “Cokie Roberts.”

ROBERTS: “I thought that the images of the week were just striking. Sitting in front of the president as he made that extraordinary eulogy with an Indian American governor of the state of South Carolina and the African-American senator from the state of South Carolina, both Republicans by the way, and the other image that really struck me was of a couple getting married in Hattiesburg, Mississippi where it was a female preacher and an African-American woman and a white woman kissing each other on the steps of the church. Those are images Americans have — all of those images are images Americans have never seen before, and show that the country is a very, very different country than the one we grew up in.”
