About this episode

Daily Show writer Ashton Womack sits down with Charlamagne The God to unpack their recent segment on the anger directed at rappers performing at Trump's inauguration. They discuss why people hold entertainers to a higher standard than politicians, the need for better messaging from the Democratic party, and how Republicans have taken advantage of anger and perceived sincerity with actions that back up their words.
