Kirk's Creepy Memorial and Democrats Demanding Better w/ Akela Lacy and Mohanad Elsheiky (Ep 298)

Funerals usually have waterworks but pyrotechnics, antisemitism AND Goebbel’s plagiarism? Sign me up! Francesca and comedian Mohanad Elsheiky discuss the unsettling Charlie Kirk memorial, and the looming takeover of TikTok from a man named Lachlan and the Ellison family. Wither Palestine speech. Plus Kimmel is back on the air, kind of… Then journalist Akela Lacy joins to talk about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s path of truth telling and bold proposals, and Kamala Harris. Womp. Harris barely endorses Zohran and tries to pass every buck for her failure as a presidential candidate. What’s next for the rift in the Big Tent party and why is “good enough” not enough.  Featuring:  Mohanad Elshieky, comedian (who you can catch on tour: https://linktr.ee/mohanad.elshieky) Watch or listen to Mohanad's special here: https://www.comedydynamics.com/catalog/mohanad-elshieky-no-need-to-address-me/ Akela Lacy, Senior Politics Reporter & co-host of The Intercept Briefing podcast https://theintercept.com/staff/akelalacy/ https://x.com/akela_lacy **** Support independent media and these long-form videos by becoming a Patron of The Bitchuation Room: https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom.
