Loving and hating the word 'woke'

About this episode

Over the past decade, the common meaning of the word 'woke' has fluctuated between "social consciousness" and "performative sensitivity." 

On Today's Show:
Jasmine Green, editorial & audience associate at The Bulwark, offers her take on the word "woke," the evolution of wokeness, and how Democrats might re-claim it from its current status as a mostly pejorative term.
