Georgia is heading into two critical runoff races that will determine which party will control the Senate. While I have my criticisms of the Democrats, the two Republican candidates running in my home state are particularly awful. So awful, in fact, that I was able to put together a 20 page script on Senator David Perdue alone.
In this homage to Robert Evans’ Behind the Bastards podcast, I sat down with Walter Fedczuk to discuss what makes Senator Perdue a bad person who should feel bad and does not deserve your vote in this 2020 runoff election.Â
