Amanda Carpenter: We Are Team Karen (Pence)

Fri, 10 Jan 2025

Description

"Mother" Pence is owed an apology. She snubbed Trump so hard and so beautifully at Jimmy Carter's funeral—and wasn't about to make nice with the man who was all-in on Jan 6 rioters trying to lynch her husband. Meanwhile, the catturd crowd is mad at Amy Coney Barrett for not falling in line, and running off to Greenland while American neighborhoods are on fire is not America First. Plus, the risks of Trump dominating the battlespace with all the stupid stuff. Amanda Carpenter joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod. show notes: Amanda's and Protect Democracy newsletter Amanda's book, "Gaslighting America" Tim's playlist charity links: LA Fire Department Foundation California Fire Foundation Los Angeles Regional Food Bank United Way "Watch Duty," the nonprofit app that's been providing invaluable, real-time fire information
