On this episode of Afternoon Tea, Sami is joined by Emily Amick, who you may know as the face behind the viral political instagram account @EmilyinYourPhone and the co-host of the We’ve Got Issues podcast. To start, Emily shares her background, including being a former Counsel to Senator Chuck Schumer, working as a lawyer representing victims of terrorism, and now being an internet personality. Next, they chat about the state of the Democratic Party, how she would grade them so far, and what we could possibly do about Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Then, Emily shares her thoughts on the filibuster, before closing with some her frustrations about the way politics is covered these days.
