PBS Hosts Historian Meacham: Trump Is Like McCarthy, Jesse Jackson Kept ‘Hope Alive’

PBS’s Firing Line with Margaret Hoover hosted the elitist media’s favorite historian Jon Meacham, who predictably found parallels between President Donald Trump and House Rep. Joe McCarthy of so-called “Red Scare” infamy, while hailing the late Jesse Jackson.

The slant started in host Margaret Hoover’s introduction, a clip montage featuring “triumphs” of democracy consisting of archive footage of women gaining the right to vote. The “trials” of democracy? Clips from the January 6 riots and ICE officers spraying mobs in Minneapolis.
