John Husted Is the Fakest Republican in America
Summary
This episode of Bulwark Takes dissects Ohio Senate candidate John Husted, arguing he is a hollow, corrupt politician worse than extreme ideologues. The hosts detail his role in a utility bribery scandal, his acceptance of donations from Jeffrey Epstein associate Les Wexner, and his vote to block the release of Epstein files. They also criticize his support for the Iran war, his dismissal of economic pain caused by tariffs, and his hiring of a political director with documented Nazi sympathies and white nationalist interests.
