A new poll shows that voters are leaning Republican as the midterms rapidly approach. Despite offering no tangible economic plans, voters seem willing to hand over our country to election-denying “Big Lie” conspiracy peddlers. On Wayne Besen’s War of the Words, we discuss how such recklessness places democracy at grave risk and could lead to the end of America as we know it. (52:09)
We interview Sean Strub, the mayor of Milford, PA and the author of the riveting book, “Body Counts: A Memoir of Politics, Sex, AIDS and Survival”.
War of the Words discusses Mike Pence (0:15) and evangelical hypocrisy. (10:24)
We take “Two-Faced Tulsi” Gabbard to task for sucking up to Vladimir Putin and embracing right wing extremism. (17:33)
The show then busts the myth that Republicans are better at fighting crime (1:09). We also slam FOX News for whitewashing anti-Semitism. (43:44)
Finally, we delve into the GOP’s latest bizarre conspiracy: Michigan schools are supposedly setting up litter boxes to accommodate “furries”, which are said to be invading classrooms. Is there anything these gullible conservatives won’t believe? (12:40)
