The co-hosts discuss the recent shooting in a San Diego synagogue and the rise in domestic terrorism all over the world. Sunny and Joy call out Trump for minimizing white nationalism and giving dog-whistles to white supremacists. Meghan calls out 8chan and the dark web. Whoopi calls out the disbandment of the Domestic Terror Intelligence Unit.
MORE MEDIA COVERAGE FOR MALE CANDIDATES? Tracking polls show that the media’s covering male candidates like Biden, Bernie, Beto, and Buttigieg about twice as much as female candidates Harris, Warren, Klobuchar, and Gillibrand - the co-hosts discuss. https://t.co/1091s9Fn2d pic.twitter.com/qQxb9savje

Sunny is surprised at the lack of media coverage for female politicians because there are more female representatives in Congress than ever before. Abby says Democrats are thinking about beating Trump and that's why old white men are at the top of the polls. Meghan is infuriated by Beto's coverage because of the double standards. She says no woman could lose a Senate race and then leave her family to go on a road trip of self-discovery, appear on the cover of Vanity Fair, and say she was born to run for president. Whoopi agrees that if Beto were a woman, he would be lambasted.
ZAC EFRON’S FAN BOY MOMENT: When the actor sat with Matthew Broderick, he gushed about how the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” changed his life - the co-hosts share what pop culture events stuck with them through the years. https://t.co/1091s9Fn2d pic.twitter.com/bG1AUB11Cs

Abby's big pop culture moment was The Sound of Music. Sunny loved Fame. Joy grew up watching a lot of romantic movies even thought it never showed what happened to the happy couple after they got married. Meghan looks up to Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in Alien.
. @newtgingrich says the Internet is partly to blame for the rise in hate crimes in the U.S.: “Different people who normally would have never found each other can now communicate and reinforce their hatred and get to have a sense of legitimacy.” https://t.co/f8u2wc159S pic.twitter.com/ksYPgq9xj3

Newt Gingrich, a hard right Republican who almost became Trump's running mate in 2016, thinks social media is to blame for the rise in hate crimes in the United States.
“I’m disagreeing with your interpretation.” @newtgingrich discusses Trump’s response to Charlottesville, saying he didn’t respond “perfectly” but “said clearly that he was opposed to white supremacists, he was opposed to Klansman, he was opposed to Nazis.” https://t.co/6WCHPSf6Sj pic.twitter.com/GG4rEsUAZh

Gingrich defends Trump's statements on Charlottesville and says that Trump's son-in-law is Jewish so he can't be a white nationalist. He says most West Virginians think Robert E. Lee was a decent person and everyone in favor of keeping those statues is not a bad human being.
“I think Joe Biden is one of the nicest people in politics,” @newtgingrich says of the former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate.
“If the country decides it wants Mr. Nice, then he’s going to win the Democratic nomination.” https://t.co/6WCHPSf6Sj pic.twitter.com/Cg6GftoL3x
