Summary

2024 Presidential candidate and bestselling author Marianne Williamson returns to Bad Faith to explain why she unsuspended her campaign, what she makes of RFK’s success, and how her politics toward Israel bear on her approach to the crisis in Gaza. She reflects on past criticism from the left -- including Norm Finkelstein and RBN -- and debates the characterization of her views as "Zionist." Stick around until the end for some Oscars 2024 discussion.
