“What those Coloradans did, leading up to today’s insurrection, is on them. Whether the rest of us on Colorado remember what they did, is on us.”
This aired Jan 6, 2021.

Trump hit a new low: He just pardoned a man who killed thousands of Americans. Yes, that is 100% true. Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras was a key figure in flooding the US with cocaine. Nearly 30,000 Americans die from cocaine overdoses per year. Many from Hernandez's cocaine
