Baltimore Freddie Gray Riots, Obama's Thugs Comment

The hosts revisit the 2015 Baltimore riots following the death of Freddie Gray. They highlight Barack Obama's use of the words "thugs" and "criminals" to describe the protesters, contrasting it with the Democratic Party's refusal to use similar language during the 2020 summer protests. They argue that when a riot is "unsanctioned" by the party, the rhetoric changes drastically.
