Michael Harriot, Columnist at The Root, joins us to discuss the ousting of Steve Bannon at Breitbart News and what an Oprah Winfrey presidency means for Black America.
When it comes to Bannon, Harriot notes that we can't be sure that his end at Breitbart necessarily equates to an end to his political career. He points out the massive base he has cultivated, and the followers he's amassed thanks to his association with the administration.
