Alexandra Pelosi traveled to Mississippi and talked to some of the state’s male residents for a political video. Pelosi appears to have concentrated on rural or small-town residents, but no geographic locations are pinpointed other than the state. A scandalized evangelical preacher, the homeless and President George W. Bush have all been subjects of Pelosi’s previous films.
The Daily Caller featured Pelosi’s video after it aired on Bill Maher’s political satire show on HBO. Maher made the predictable jokes about the South—standard fare for political class elitists who on the one hand embrace a philosophy of victimology and on the other despise the very people they profess they want to help.
