Three Flavors of GOP Lunacy

Three Flavors of GOP Lunacy

Today John tells the tale of 3 Republican efforts in stupidity. In West Virginia a law protecting child marriage, in Tennessee low level government clerks can deny marriage licenses if they choose, and evangelicals have kicked out their most popular church because they chose to ordain women as clergy. Then he talks to Prof. Corey Brettschneider about Trump being invited to appear before a N.Y. grand jury in the Stormy Daniels hush money probe. Next he talks to Last Mile Radio hosts Chris Redlitz and Eric Abercrombie which deals with prison reform. And finally he takes listener calls and he plays a clip of Stacey Elizabeth Plaskett. She is a non-voting delegate to the United States House of Representatives from the United States Virgin Islands and she called out Jim Jordan for withholding information from the Democrats during their Twitter hearings.
