Kentucky Republican Mocked for Accidentally Sponsoring Bill to Legalize Incest Between Cousins
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2024-01-18

Winner of CBS’ ‘Survivor’ turned Republican politician Nick Wilson sponsored legislation that legalizes incest between first cousins. Following backlash, he clarified that he didn’t mean to strike “first cousins” from the original bill he was amending and argued that his goal was to broaden the legal definition of incest in Kentucky. In this video we’re going to hear him out and determine if he’s telling the truth, then subsequently discuss an even more scandalous aspect about his political career.
