About this episode
First, they react to Platner's egotistical explanation for why he's being forced out of the Maine U.S. Senate race- it's the political establishment rather than his own mountain of scandals. Scot explains why he's suprised Platner withdrew so quickly, and they also discuss what impact a different Democrat will have on the race against GOP Sen. Susan Collins.
Next, Scot and Greg skewer the media for their abysmal coverage of Platner. From the New York Times trying to discredit an earlier Platner accuser because she's a Republican to MSNOW admitting it only believes accusers who are Democrats to other lefties now pretending they were duped by Platner, it's been a total disgrace. And yet, they've likely learned nothing.
Then, they shift to the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in Michigan, where Bernie-Sanders backed Abdul El-Sayed appears to lead Rep. Haley Stevens. But El-Sayed is also on the defensive about his call to abolish ICE, blaming Israel for virtually every problem in America, and lying about his medical background. Will any of it matter when voters go to the polls next month?
Finally, they sigh as a Milwaukee coffee shop issues an apology for taking a photo with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz on Wednesday.
