JOHN DICKERSON (HOST): Sherrilyn, let's talk about the -- about Congress, about the response to this. There's been a lot of commentary, but what do you look for next in terms of matching public action with the sentiment that has come out in response to Charlottesville?  SHERRILYN IFILL: Well, I think this is really important, and I hope it doesn't get lost because I think there's a powerful role for journalists like Elle and the extraordinary film that she made and the extraordinary work of Christian. But there are also policy decisions that we should be expecting our leaders to make to deal with white supremacy. The United States Congress just a few weeks ago, by a vote of 51 to 42, approved a judge for the federal appellate court of appeals who ran a right-wing blog and regularly linked to birther articles and articles from white nationalists websites.

    Andra Watkins discussed her Substack newsletter, "How Project 2025 Will Ruin Your Life," on Rick Wilson's podcast on April 22. The growing threat of the Republican Party's ties to Christian Nationalism and Project 2025 is terrifying. Watkins helps more people understand the threat we are facing.
