BPR Full Show 2/11/21: Senate Impeachment Trial, Day Three

Today on Boston Public Radio:

Jennifer Horn, former chair of the New Hampshire Republican Party, weighs in on former President Trump’s impeachment trial, and touches on her recent resignation from the Lincoln Project. She also speaks about how the country can become less divisive, and the state of disinformation in politics.

We open phone lines to talk with listeners about how they thought the impeachment trial of former President Trump would proceed.

Former Suffolk County sheriff and secretary of public safety Andrea Cabral shares her thoughts on dismissive comments from Senate Republicans about the impeachment trial of former President Trump, and offers critique of the arguments from Trump’s legal defense team. She also talks about the recent abolishment of the death penalty in Va.

Next, we ask listeners what they thought about some Republican senators’ responses to audio and video evidence presented at the impeachment trial.

Former Mass. education secretary Paul Reville discusses the challenges school systems are facing in reopening due to the emergence of new COVID-19 variants. He also speaks about one of the biggest issues on educators’ minds: how to address learning loss and gaps in students.

We end the show by asking listeners if they believe that Democrats have done enough to make their case that former President Trump should be held responsible for inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
