Dennis Kucinich: What Happened to the Party of Peace?
Channel: Ed Mays
Date: 2022-11-03

Dennis Kucinich, is incensed over the Congressional Progressive Caucus being forced to retract a letter calling for peace negotiations with Russia. The letter signed by 30 members of the Progressive Caucus and submitted by caucus chair Pramila Jayapal was withdrawn the next day following an uproar from other Democrats. Dennis Kucinich is a former Congressmember (D-Ohio) and former Mayor of Cleveland. He was also a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 2004 and 2008. He advocated for a Department of Peace when he was in Congress and led the opposition to US wars of choice in Iraq, Syria, and Libya. We talk to Dennis about the implications of the withdrawal and his book which came out last year, "The Division of Light and Power".
