Odd connections: St. Paul attorney, activist and author Frank Kilgore died on Sunday, July 14. On July 15, former president Donald Trump picked JD Vance as his VP running mate for the Republican ticket in the Presidential race for November 2024.
This show is a rerun of the October 2022 interview with Frank Kilgore about his book JD Vance is a Fake Hillbilly. Kilgore's book was in response to JD Vance's 2016 book Hillbilly Elegy.
Kilgore believed that Vance's book presented unfair stereotypes of people in the coalfields of Appalachia. He didn't like the book -- and made that very clear, both in his book and in this interview.
Since we, unfortunately, could not ask Kilgore to do an interview about Vance's selection as Trump's running mate, this rerun will have to serve.
