The right wing media has been a part of the scene nearly 30 years. Of course she has listeners. That's why what was accomplished was extraordinary. There are literally no progressive radio stations (I am in Broadcasting) as they have been ratings challenged. (There is one outside the Chicago market I know of) So podcasting can find this audience without the help of the corporate media, which own 75% of America's radio stations.

Yea I get that… it was more a just a dig at her because anytime I’ve heard her talk it has been truly insufferable. I also find it interesting because a lot of the right wing people are racist so listening to a black woman speak doesn’t seem like it would be on their top list of priorities of things to do. Now joe Rogan I would understand more

They'll forgive her blackness as long as she hates Democrats.
