Welcome to the first episode of The Accountability Corner: a show where we take public officials who promote and engage in harmful ideologies or actions, and we break it all down to hold them accountable.

This episode discusses First District Supervisor Roger Gitlin, with the sparking point of his sharing and incitement of hate speech—and the absolute turbulence since then. I break down why the ideas spread are wrong (in more ways than one), highlight the community backlash, bring it back around to how his actions have inspired further harm, and wrap it up with a showcase of the rally that took place in front of the Flynn Center.

This is the first video I’ve made of this nature. I hope you enjoy and that it’s the first of many!
