Summary

On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast I’m joined by the publisher of Current Revolt, Tony Ortiz. Current Revolt is a Texas-based newsletter, the TMZ of the Lone Star State. We talked about late Texas Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee berating her staff, a former exotic dancer alleging an affair with a Texas state rep, #Grubgate, and the democrat judge who put on blackface for a panty raid (decades before he was a BLM-supporting judge, of course).
