Comedian Roy Wood Jr. on how the word "woke" has been generalized, on "The Takeout" with Major Garrett
CBSN
The problem with political discourse today is that the parties can't even agree on the facts, opines comedian Roy Wood Jr., a longtime correspondent for "The Daily Show."
"Politics is very much like sports...if we can't both agree that it was a fumble, we can't even talk about whether or not it was a good game," Wood said. "You feel like sometimes you're arguing with a bunch of referees when it comes to politics in this country." He talked with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett for this week's episode of "The Takeout" podcast. Wood also takes issue with the linguistic evolution of the word "woke" and how it's been "weaponized" by figures on the right to represent anything they disagree with.More Related News
