Don’t Pretend Joe Biden is Acceptable | Episode 239 (May 1, 2020)
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 04/05/2020

In this episode we’ll continue our coverage of Trump’s bungling of the COVID-19 pandemic and we’ll discuss calls for Bernie Sanders to unsuspend his campaign after new evidence regarding Tara Reade’s #MeToo allegations bolsters her account of what Joe Biden allegedly did to her in the 1990s. Additionally, New York’s Board of Elections effectively cancelled the Democratic Primary. We’ll discuss what progressives said in response and action Andrew Yang is taking to challenge their decision. Also, now that Bernie’s 2020 campaign is over, some of his former aides quickly became turncoats and chose to sell their souls for a career in Democratic Party politics. Finally, we’ll talk to Jordan Chariton about his bombshell report about Flint, Michigan and former Republican Governor Rick Snyder’s overt corruption.
