Ep. 1777 - Everything That You Were Told About The Civil Rights Movement Was A Lie

What was said

"The civil rights movement and its aftermath, in terms of the number of lives lost and the damage that it's done to our nation, was comparable to the bombing of Hiroshima. And that is not an overstatement."

Matt Walsh launched a Daily Wire series arguing the civil rights movement caused damage and death on a scale comparable to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. He framed the movement as 'the largest and deadliest con job ever perpetrated against the American population' and claimed Americans are forbidden from criticizing it or its leaders.
