David French: political commentator and writer

Listen
Share:

Political commentator and writer David French is well known in politically conservative and Christian circles. But in a time when misinformation and swagger sells, French expresses deeply personal and independent views, leaving him at odds with some conservatives and Christians.

Today, we sit with David as he reflects on the rigidity of political thought and the ways he believes political discourse in America must evolve. Plus, we talk about his journey and what led him to write for high profile publications like the New York Times. As we enter another new era of Conservatism v. Liberalism, what does he envision for the future of our country?

This episode was produced by Tasha AF Lemley.
