Sunday shows preview: Protests continue over shooting of Blake; coronavirus legislation talks remain at impasse
The protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis., along with the ongoing standstill over the next coronavirus stimulus package are expected to dominate the Sunday talk show circuit this weekend.
Blake was shot by a Kenosha police officer seven times and tased twice on Sunday, leaving him partially paralyzed. Police have identified three officers involved in the shooting earlier this week.
On Tuesday night, two protesters were shot and killed and another was injured. Officials later arrested Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old from Illinois, who faces multiple homicide charges.
Blake’s family attorney, Ben Crump, has said there is a disparity in how police treated Rittenhouse versus how they treated Blake. Crump is booked on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
This week the Republican National Convention ended with a slight boost in polling and a $75 million fundraising haul for President Trump.
Trump campaign advisor Lara Trump and Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel are booked on “Fox News Sunday” and “America This Week With Eric Bolling,” respectively.
Negotiations between Congressional Democrats and the White House remain at a standstill this week as lawmakers are split on how much they wish to spend on a coronavirus relief package.
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows proposed a $1.3 trillion package, which Democrats have rejected, saying they will not settle for anything less than the $2.2 trillion package they passed in May.
Meadows is booked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and “America This Week With Eric Bolling.”
