About this Event
One attendee per household will receive a complimentary copy of Jacob Weisberg's Profiles in Cowardice at the event. Supplies are limited, so books will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis while they last.
The question many Americans ask again and again is why aren't Republicans speaking out against the policies and practices of the current administration? We've learned from some Republicans that the answer is simple: fear. The question has become broader and broader, and is now, Why have law firms, media companies, and influential individuals caved to the president and his demands?
Jacob Weisberg's new book, Profiles in Cowardice: A Study of Collaboration in the Trump Era, looks at eight powerful individuals who capitulated to the president's demands. His profiles include Mitch McConnell, Jeff Bezos, and others -- whose collusions have had enormous impact in media, law, finance, and government.
