Larry Wilmore on Race, Politics, and Mormonism
posted on August 27, 2012Slate’s David Haglund interviews Larry Wilmore about his fascination with Mormons. “I think Romney’s Mormonism is as unique to this election as Obama’s blackness was in the last election,” explains Wilmore, The Daily Show’s “senior black correspondent.” “We’ve never had a Mormon candidate before. It’s a pretty big deal. And a lot of people don’t know about Mormonism—I certainly didn’t know a lot of the details.”
