Timcast IRL #257 - Black Nationalist Farrakhan Follower ATTACKS US Capitol, One Cop Dies w/Julie Borowski
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 257, recorded on April 3, 2021, covered the breaking news of a Capitol attack that occurred the previous day when Noah R. Green, 25, drove through barricades and killed U.S. Capitol Police Officer William Evans before being shot by officers. Tim Pool and his co-hosts discussed how the suspect was identified by the New York Times as a follower of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, a black nationalist movement. The panel examined what they characterized as a double standard in media coverage, noting how the establishment would have quickly condemned the attack if the suspect were white rather than Black, and compared it to how the media handled the Boulder shooting suspect revelation. Julie Borowski joined the show as a guest to discuss the incident alongside regular co-hosts Ian Crossland and Lydia. The conversation addressed the broader implications of leftist identitarianism, the Nation of Islam's ideology, and concerns about political polarization in America. Tim also discussed his own experiences with platform bans following January 6th and encouraged viewers to become members at TimCast.com for exclusive content.
