Last evening, Dean went to the House floor to share an account of his experience in the U.S. Capitol during the January 6th insurrection.
Dean's message was clear and powerful: He spoke of the moment when the violent, white supremacist mob was breaking into the House Chamber, his gut instinct to blend-in with GOP lawmakers, and his realization that his colleagues of color could not do the same.
That's privilege. As Dean said, "It took a violent mob of insurrectionists and a lightning-bolt moment in this very room" to fully understand that.
