Description

In the wake of the murder of U.S. political commentator Charlie Kirk, questions about the deepening political divide in America have once again come to the fore. But this isn’t just an American story; here in Ireland, we’ve also seen how political figures are increasingly subjected to threats, intimidation, and even violence. Joining Anton to discuss is West Wing Reports founder and White House Bureau Chief, Paul Brandus; Roderic O'Gorman, Green Party leader & TD for Dublin West; and Liz Carolan, publisher of The Briefing.ie
