Francesca Hong: “Working class folks have been fighting all of their lives…”

“If somebody like Platner, for example, who has apologized, we should mention, has some of these controversies in his past, it should not preclude them from running or winning, representing the people. Working class folks have been fighting all of their lives, and they aren't working to be vetted by the consulting class and political elite. I think someone who makes people feel like there's someone in their government that is in their corner that is fighting for them and not corporate interests is something that all politicians should be thriving for.” (04:18–04:28)
