Roxane Gay on the Myth of Civility

What is civility? Who does it serve? When, if ever, is incivility
called for? New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay joins
Alex Wagner to discuss the right's recent calls for political
civility and why Roxane believes those calls are based on a
fantasy of our politics. The two unpack the political discourse
in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination and the ongoing
government shutdown, talk about Roxane's belief that the
"manosphere" has always been with us, and debate whether there's
a perfect, polite way to communicate about our differences.
