Hey Friend,
As I noted in a post last Tuesday, Mike Pence was invited by the MTSU Honors College and MTSU administration to disgrace our campus with his pandering takes on democracy, lies about his career’s legacy on LGBTQ+ rights issues, and outright bloodthirsty cries for endless war.
So, for this week’s Unnatural State of Affairs episode, I give you a thorough and brutal evisceration of this event, including Mike Pence’s insultingly condescending, unremorseful, and at times, incoherent answer to my question about his indulgence in legalized corruption and support for a war that resulted in at least over 186,000 civilians dead, over 4,500 U.S. soldiers dead, and $2 trillion in wasted taxpayer funds.
The Unnatural State of Affairs broadcasts on WMTS 88.3 FM, Mondays at 5-7 P.M. Tune in to hear the censored talk show segments and DJ session!
