From the Archives: Shaun King Mar 13, 2024

Show notes

This episode was originally recorded in summer of 2020 for our patreon feed (patreon.com/liecheatandsteal), but we thought we should repost it publicly since Shaun King is up to his old tricks again, this time in the name of Palestine rather than in the name of Black Lives Matter. This episode isn't updated with all of his recent antics, and the sound quality isn't as good as our usual episodes, but we thought it was worth reposting since Shaun is back in the news.

The Ice King Charlie Morse Mar 07, 2024

Show notes
