Florida’s New Fascism and the Rise of the Global Hate Industrial Complex – Interview with Heidi Beirich

On today’s War of the Words with Wayne Besen, we take issue with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ outrageous attack on the Special Olympics. We call out five baseball players on the Tampa Bay Rays who refuse to wear a rainbow logo for the team’s Pride Night. The players condemned the so-called “gay lifestyle”, in the name of Jesus, and told LGBTQ people to be celibate. Wayne ends the show with a riveting conversation with Heidi Beirich, the co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism. They will discuss the recent rise of white supremacist hate groups and the rapid growth of political fascism.
