How low can political campaigns go—and what does our tolerance for cruelty say about us?
In this episode of Need to Know with Dr. Nsenga Burton, presented by A Black Executive Perspective, Dr. Burton challenges political attack ads that she argues cross the line from criticism into misogyny and personal humiliation.
Through commentary on Keisha Lance Bottoms, Dr. Amy Acton, and Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign, she examines the weaponization of personal trauma, the treatment of women seeking leadership, and the responsibility voters have to demand better.
It’s an unfiltered conversation about power, politics, culture, and community accountability—with a reminder that basic humanity should never be negotiable.
