Part 7/10:
Propaganda, Messaging, and Cultural Stereotypes in Politics
A controversial part of the discourse involves the use of provocative imagery and messaging. Vice President Vance, for example, is mentioned as defending a racially charged video featuring Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero. This video was played on a loop in the White House briefing room, accompanied by mariachi music piped over the loudspeakers, signaling an active messaging effort designed to mock or undermine Democratic leaders.
