HARRISON: Well, I am telling the truth. Tell me the power I have to pick? If I'm the DNC chair, what power do I have to pick? Like people said, well, you could have told Joe Biden to not run. Like seriously? CHARLEMAGNE: Yeah. CASEY: Yeah. CHARLEMAGNE: You could have said that. HARRISON: I could've and CASEY: Nobody was against it during that time. CHARLEMAGNE: You could have and should have.

DNC Chair Martin was accused of being out of touch with American voters after he invited Lindy Sowmick, a self-described Indigenous queer woman, to open the meeting by acknowledging that the land had been taken from the Dakota people and that in many ways, we still live in a system built to suppress indigenous people's cultural and spiritual history. During his own speech, Martin urged fellow Democrats to grow a damn spine.

Now look, folks, I'm sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil to a knife fight. We cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore, Martin said, adding: We've got to stand up and fight. We're not going to have a hand tied behind our back anymore. Let's grow a damn spine and get in this fight, Democrats! LFG, that's right, Martin said, repeating a cheer from the crowd.
