Lickspittles on Parade
Summary
David Rothkopf and Norm Ornstein discuss Republican senators Cornyn and Tillis as "lickspittles" for supporting Trump’s nominee Todd Blanche despite ethical concerns. They analyze Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear’s handling of Mitch McConnell’s absence and the progressive wave in Michigan’s primary against AIPAC-backed candidates. The hosts also critique AIPAC’s influence, US-Israel policy, and the dropped vandalism charges involving US Attorney Janine Pierro and Secretary Doug Burgum.
