The "sit down" double standard & the persistence of Ruwa Romman

While the right howls with indignation that VP Kamala Harris is going to do her first network TV interview with MSNBC'S Stephanie Ruhle, they seem to forget her opponent, Donald Trump, never wanders far off the OANN/NewsMax/Fox News reservation himself. The few times he has, of course, he's stormed off set (ask Leslie Stahl and '60 Minutes').

I dove into that double-standard a bit, focusing on NYT conservative columnist Bret Stephens' latest piece portraying him as a "never Trumper" who's also a "Harris skeptic." Ruhle, meanwhile, put him in his place Friday on 'Real Time with Bill Maher.'

It's as if, by the way, they don't both have records to run on: Harris as VP, and Donald, of course, in the Oval Office. I point this out all the time when he flings another lofty promise out - "why didn't he do it when he was President before?"

My guest today was Rep. Ruwa Romman (D) - the state's lone elected Palestinian American and one of only a handful nationwide. I caught up with her after that whirlwind week at the DNC where she *almost* became a speaker at the convention - representing the plight of Palestinian. Instead, she was rebuffed and I wanted to get a sense of where she is on party loyalty, what support she has from local and state parties and if Kamala Harris presents anything different for those who want a ceasefire and disarmament of aid to Israel.
