Douglas Ting on "Why Are Conservatives Always Wrong?"

 

Hosts Cecil Prescod and Celeste Carey speak with Douglas Ting about his book, "Why Are Conservatives Always Wrong?: Terrifying Quotes from Conservatives Throughout American History."

"Why Are Conservatives Always Wrong?" is a collection of conservatives' own words about issues like slavery, women's suffrage. child labor. Social Security. Jim Crow and desegregation, environmental issues, interracial marriage and more. Conservatives have been wrong on every major social issue this country has faced. Drawing from the Congressional record, the media, and the campaign trail, Ting documents what American conservatives have said throughout American history.  He exposes the dark undercurrent of violence that has always accompanied people protecting wealth and power. He provides a glimpse of how future Americans will see this election year's conservatives like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz as ignorant and vile.
