Sinclair Broadcast Group's national program America This Week featured a panel discussion on June 3 about the recent nationwide protests following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and other Black people at the hands of police.
Throughout the discussion, host Eric Bolling and far-right, pro-Trump panelist Sebastian Gorka peddled a series of right-wing talking points against the protests as liberal panelist Ameshia Cross, a Black woman, attempted to respond with facts about the protests and the movement behind them.
