Matt Taibbi Delivers The Quintessential American Speech At 'Rescue The Republic' Event In D.C.
Posted • September 29, 2024: If anyone had told me a couple of years ago that I'd be singing the praises of Matt Taibbi, I'd have told them they were high. I wasn't particularly familiar with Taibbi — just knew he'd been a writer for Rolling Stone and had written some things I found obnoxious. I also knew our politics were miles apart.

I'm only going to provide a brief excerpt of it here, but I highly encourage you to watch it in its entirety. (The video below is cued up to the beginning of Taibbi's speech.
In this speech, Taibbi hit all the right notes, with a nod to our history, the history of free speech, the Gospel of John and the power of words — and the Word. He captured the spirit of what it means to be quintessentially Americen — to be free. (…)
