Episode 24: Tina, stop!

Tina and Hillary cover current Warren Michigan mayor Jim Fouts and former Colorado senator and presidential hopeful Gary Hart.

Tina’s Story
James Fouts has served as Warren’s mayor for four consecutive terms beginning in 2007 and prior to that served as councilman in Warren for 26 years (elected in 1981). But, when damaging audio tapes of Fouts emerged during Fouts 2019 re-election bid, Fouts bigotry is revealed yet results in little to no consequences.

Hillary’s Story
Gary Hart served as Colorado senator from 1975-1988 and was the presidential frontrunner in the 1988 election. But, when investigative reports get a juicy tip about a potential affair, Hart’s bid for the White House is jeopardized.
