‘House of Cards’ Creator Beau Willimon on Trump Inauguration: ‘We’ve Moved Backward’
“But in the long story that is America we will overcome that,” writer and producer of hit Netflix show says
“We have always moved forward, slowly, with difficulty, with pain, with death,” Willimon told TheWrap’s Editor-in-Chief Sharon Waxman and Anna Palmer, co-author of Politco’s Playbook daily newsletter.
Willimon also said that among his chief concerns with the current state of affairs in this country is efforts by the right to gerrymander electoral districts in order to stay in power, citing things like the REDMAP Project, in which the GOP organized across the country to redraw districts state by state.
Panel participants include Mike McKenna, president, MWR Strategies; Collin O’Mara, CEO, National Wildlife Federation; and “Before the Flood” director Fisher Stevens, an Oscar-winning documentarian, who is also an actor.
