About this episode

Katie Gorka discusses the challenges of being a Republican in a predominantly blue area and her role in Fairfax County politics.

Happy "Hump Day," "RevFam"! Today on the show, we welcome Fairfax County GOP Chair Katie Gorka for a conversation about the intersection of D.C. and Northern Virginia politics. What is being a Republican like in such a blue area of the country? How does someone in her position deal with -- no pun intended -- the proverbial elephant in the room, subject-wise (President Trump)? Katie discusses her role and work -- and sparks conversation about America's fundamentals, a conversation that continues into the final segment of the show with John and Dan. Enjoy!
