Hello, it's Randy Rhodes. Here's a clip from our show and go to randyroads.com for the whole thing and a podcast.

Buy a speaker podcast. Here he was retweeting a felon, you know, somebody that was convicted of religiously aggravated harassment,

0:15.6

of an organization that is a hate-driven organization on the extreme fringes, the far, far right of British politics.

0:25.2

This is like the president retweeting the Ku Klux Klan. You know, this is not a mainstream

0:30.4

organization. From the president of the United States, our greatest ally as a country,

0:35.2

to be retweeting, to be providing a microphone to those voices.
