Govs. Wes Moore & Kevin Stitt on dignity in politics: Full panel

Published | Video Starts at 21:30

Social media is a place where so often hatred and toxicity and vitriol is fostered. How do you address that, particularly for our young people? This is something that we've discussed with some of the other panels, but it is really, I think, at the root of trying to restore dignity in our politics. (21:30–21:39)
