This episode from “The Daily” have a lot of say about today’s issue. The interview with Mike Davis is extremely fascinating where Kate Kelly and Robin Pogrebin analyzes Davis’s words. Starting with his life, Kelly and Pogrebin presents Davis as a mastermind who is trying to make US more conservative. I really like how they talked about Davis supporting Neil Gorsuch to make the high court a conservative majority. I thought that this was an interesting thing because from today’s perspective I can see that Davis has been planning this for a very long time and it was not something he did yesterday. It clearly shows how he planned ahead to obtain his goal. Additionally, I think Davis’ metaphor seems more of a threat toward the Democrats rather than using it as an excuse to say that they are liars. I see this as a warning because as Michael Barbaro said its a “colorful metaphor” with a dark hidden message.
