Steve Kornacki was guest hosting for Rachel Maddow on Friday night, and led off the program with a long segment on the history of discrimination in Arizona, from the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday boycott, to the SB 1070 “illegally breathing while brown” boycott, to the latest religious bigotry bill from Cathi Herrod and her Christian Taliban at the Center for Arizona Policy (CAP). Kornacki suggested that Arizona could yet again be looking at another self-inflicted national boycott of the state, and possibly losing next January’s Super Bowl, as previously happened in 1993.
Kornacki’s interview was with Arizona’s House Minority Leader Chad Campbell (D-Phoenix) to discuss the religious bigotry bill.
