MSNOW The Assignment's host Antonia Hylton joins Molly Jong-Fast to discuss Tucker Carlson’s increasingly messy break with Donald Trump and how Carlson is trying to position himself as an authentic, ahead-of-the-curve critic while still carrying baggage from his past support for Trump and his history of anti-Semitic rhetoric; from there, it widens into a broader look at the fragility of the MAGA coalition, the declining credibility of Trump and the media, and the way right-wing figures like Ben Shapiro, Byron Donalds, and other potential Trump successors are struggling amid the movement’s embrace of racism, anti-Semitism, and extremism. The conversation also highlights several working-class Democratic candidates—especially Angie Nixon, Troy Jackson, and Brian Poindexter—as examples of politicians the party should be elevating, while criticizing consultants and party insiders for smoothing over their messages, avoiding moral clarity, and failing to invest in candidates who can actually connect with voters on issues like labor, affordability, book bans, Palestine, and the cultural backlash shaping places like Florida and Ohio.Subscribe to Fast Politics and listen 4x a week for interviews just like this on your favorite podcast app: https://episodes.fm/1645614328
