Description

The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Brandon Pope, host of ‘On the Block‘ on WCIUCate Plys, former staff writer at the Chicago Reader, and political op-ed columnist at the Sun-Times and Tribune, and political pundit Marj Halperin! This week, the Rascals mince about Kamala Harris choosing Minnesota governor Tim Walz to be her running mate. What do the Rascals think about the choice? Last week, former president Trump came to town for an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. Brandon was there and recaps the visit. Today, JB Pritzker called for Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell to resign for his handling of the Sonya Massey case. Do the Rascals believe that Campbell should resign? New body camera footage obtained by the Sun-Times shows that police officers conducted dozens of traffic stops in the days leading up to a deadly shootout with Dexter Reed. What do the Rascals make of this new footage? Brandon hopes this will lead to police reform. And finally, the Olympics are wrapping up this week and the Rascals address the controversy surrounding Olympic boxer Imane Khelif.
