They discussed: Many prominent democrats including New York Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez are calling on senate minority leader Charles Schumer to resign. These calls are similar to ones that faced former speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi a few years ago and give rise to the question of it’s time to allow a younger, presumably more progressive batch of democrats to take over leadership of the party. “It’s kind of ridiculous when you think about it.” So says, entertainment executive, producer and attorney Warren D. Robinson, “they are calling for him to resign because he did his job, which was to whip enough votes in the democratic caucus to keep the government open. This is the party that decried the idea of a government shutdown when Biden and Democrats had the majority but now are willing to risk people’s livelihoods for a symbolic but ultimately useless fight.” Robinson also points out the change of stance on a shutdown is not the only way democrats are being hypocritical. “I remember just a few months ago how democrats, including Alexandria Ociasio-Cortez, wanted to end the filibuster. They practically ran Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin out of Congress because they kept the filibuster but now they love it and wanted Charles Schumer to use it to shut down the government.” While Robinson doesn’t believe Schumer’s media appearances have done him much good he applauds him for keeping the government open. “Schumer’s appearance on the View was a disaster. He should have been better prepared for those questions. Nonetheless, I think he absolutely did the right thing keeping the government open. Politicians should always put people over party.”
According to a statement, “Entertainment executive and producer, Warren D. Robinson believes that when organizations are willing to have open and honest conversations about race and their own bias they can commit to meaningful change. We have seen this recently in the form of Hollywood award shows, particularly, the Grammys and the Academy Awards (Oscars). The Recording Academy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have both taken concrete steps to diversify their ranks and address inherit biases in their voting processes. As a result we have the most diverse crop of award winners/nominees, respectively, we’ve ever seen. Contrast that with the scandal and production shutdown currently at CBS’s The Talk, which resulted because a co-host was unable to properly engage in a conversation about race, address her own bias and commit to doing better. ‘The key part to every conversation’ Warren says, ‘starts with listening. Listening and hearing are different and if you are unable to listen then you are unable to have a conversation.’
