MSNBC’s Ruhle to Jaime Harrison: Do You Need to Start Addressing More of These Culture War Issues Head On?

‘Do you need to take a different approach to combat it?’

EXCERPT:

RUHLE: “Before you go, do you need to start addressing more of these culture war issues head on? Until now, I often hear, this is misinformation, this is nonsense, which it absolutely is. However, this misinformation and nonsense is impacting how people vote. Do you need to take a different approach to combat it?"
HARRISON: “We have to. We have to call the lies out for what they are. And they’re bolt faced, put them in a box lies. And that’s what the Republican Party feeds on. They understand that the only path to power for them is to make the American people scared. To come up with all of the dog whistles and the boogie men, and all of that. You know, they think somebody is living in their closet or something. That is what they -- that is what they rely upon. But Democrats have to call out the lies, and we have to be bold in calling them out, and we’ve got to make sure that we paint a contrast. Let people know what we have done for them.”
