Tuberville goes completely insane
Summary
Fred Wellman and guest Joe Trippi mock Senator Tommy Tuberville’s viral claim that airline pilots are furries, framing it as a desperate Republican distraction from economic failures and the Iran war. Trippi analyzes midterm polling data showing that "double haters" and independents are increasingly voting Democratic due to the toxicity of the MAGA brand. The duo urges voters to ignore manufactured culture-war distractions and focus on turning out early to secure a Democratic victory in the upcoming elections.
