0:08 – The tragic mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, last weekend, was perpetrated by an 18 year old who livestreamed from his phone as he walked through a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood, executing shoppers. In a 180-page manifesto, he explained that he targeted that supermarket specifically because it was in the most heavily Black zip code in New York state. He associates himself with a white nationalist conspiracy called “the great replacement theory,” which has also been used in other white terror attacks in recent history. We are joined by Michael Edison Hayden (@MichaelEHayden), senior spokesperson with the Southern Policy Law Center’s Intelligence Project – which monitors the radical right in the US.

Peter Beinart (@PeterBeinart) is a Jewish professor, author, and journalist, who was named in the Buffalo gunman’s manifesto. He joins us to discuss how Jews are positioned in this white supremacist ideology and how finding his name in the manifesto has impacted him.
