Keeping Democracy Alive with Burt Cohen
Trump and “Disloyal Jews”//The Corpse of Franco and Democracy in Spain
Did Trump mean to be anti-Semitic with his insistence that Jewish Americans who vote Democratic are disloyal? According to our first guest, civil justice advocate and attorney Mark Bello, without question yes, Trump is anti-Semitic. And he says Trump is one thing but the silence of Republicans is more troubling. And on part two while Generalissimo Franco is still dead, controversy around the status of his corpse is very much alive. Sebastiaan Faber is an expert on Spanish history and politics. He says that the recent Supreme Court decision to remove the corpse from the massive Valley of the Fallen monument has the potential to right some wrongs. Such as questions about Franco’s fortune stolen from Spain and the status of bodies of Franco’s victims and possible reparations to families of those killed and wrongly imprsioned. This may test democracy in Spain.
