Independent Outlook 11
Wednesday, January 13, 2021
In this eleventh Independent Outlook event, David J. Theroux (Founder and President), Dr. Williamson M. Evers (Senior Fellow), and Dr. Graham H. Walker (Executive Director) examine: Should we be worried about policy reactions or overreactions after last Wednesday’s events at the Capitol; what’s going on with de-platforming, censorship, and Parler; now that the Biden Administration doesn’t have to worry about persuading a Republican-led Senate, what will their policy agenda be; what about vaccine distribution; and more.
