“The Divide” is a weekly commentary that aims to find common ground on an issue dividing Americans. Each week, Brandi Kruse tackles topics including gun control, free speech, policing, and politics.

This week: A Seattle man just wanted to have his voice heard by city council members. Instead, he ended up delivering a “sad commentary” on the state of politics that has now been seen by millions around the world.
