Quitting the Republican Party and joining the Democrats (The Ties That Bind)
Changing Course. Fukumoto marched in support of women’s rights during the Women’s March in Honolulu in January 2017, where she again publicly described the new president as “racist and sexist.” Her fellow House Republicans then ousted her as minority leader in February 2017, and she quit the Republican party a month later.
In this episode of The Ties That Bind, Rep. Fukumoto joins Marsha to discuss her career course change and what she has planned for the future.
The host for this episode is Marsha Joyner. The guest for this episode is Beth Fukumoto.
