Sacks claims elites created Russian interference and white supremacy narratives to avoid accountability for bipartisan failures.
“the elite did to protect itself was create these mythologies that Trump somehow got elected not because the people of the country were fed up with the way that it had been run for twenty years by both parties, but rather because the Russians somehow were behind it or or the country was shot through with white supremacy”
Sacks accepts responsibility for an unspecified failure and redirects criticism away from messaging issues.
“That is totally on us, and I think it’s the criticism you should be making, instead of all this stuff about messaging and marketing.”
