Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones says the divide in the Democratic Party is between those who want to forcefully resist Trump and those who don’t, as opposed to an ideological one. “This is about slow learners versus fast learners,” said Jones. “The house is on fire, and you can be as polite and respectful and try and be collegial. But the other side is not doing that.” - Aired on 08/16/2025.
