With Trump pulling the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement, he has doubled down on his promise of America First. But the idea of America First has its roots reaching all the way back to the American Revolution.
On this episode, we'll learn about the America First Committee created in the 1940s, who was a part of that committee, and why claims of anti-semitism swirled around it. We'll also look at other examples of America First during Woodrow Wilson's re-election campaign, and Washington's proclamation of neutrality in 1793.
