Picking Apart The GOP Playbook + A Conversation with Rina Shah

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by political strategist Rina Shah to break down the growing crisis over the administration’s narrative about ICE and federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis after the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good. Shah and I examine how fear-based tactics, political loyalty, and poor crisis management have eroded public trust and fueled unrest in the Twin Cities. As senior officials have used terms like “domestic terrorism” to describe the incidents, we confront what happens when optics replace truth and government narratives clash with video evidence.
