The Young Turks: June 04, 2015

Cenk and Ana hosting. A female political cartoonist in Iran has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for insulting members of Parliament and the Supreme Leader via her cartoons. The comic in question depicted Parliament with cow and monkey heads. After a UK publication has decided to end their topless women section after being pressured by feminists, Mike Huckabee responded by being confused about whether women posting topless photos and men posting topless photos of women is sexist. Video of his confusion on his radio show. After Mike Huckabee gave a full throated defense of Josh Duggar, his rabid support has mysteriously disappeared from his campaign website after the story still fails to convince people to accept the crimes. Ana points out that Huckabee once criticized Barack and Michelle Obama for allowing their daughters to watch Beyonce videos, but supported the Duggars after they swept their son’s sexual assaults under the rug. Mike Huckabee’s son had an old acting scene where he seemed to proposition an actress to show some tit and suck a little dick to get ahead. Cenk and Ana give him a pass. Greg Gutfeld of Fox News went on a rant about how sickening it is for the Duggars to get a pass for their son’s actions simply because they are Christians. In the video, he claimed that if the Duggars were Muslims, so many defensive voices wouldn’t be out there. Nature Box plug. A study showed which career fields tend to be full of Republicans vs Democrats. Ted Cruz was speaking to a supportive crowd at a campaign stop and made a few jokes about VP Biden. Videos of his jokes, and him walking away from a reporter that asked him why he chose to target Biden during his time of grieving over his son’s death. Cenk gives him the benefit of the doubt that he possibly forgot the horrible news about his son until he saw him walk away from the question. The anti-choice legislation that Scott Walker is planning on signing includes language that would allow the father of the baby to sue the doctor for “emotional distress.” This comes right after Walker claimed women that are raped get over it in the 1st couple of months of the pregnancy, so its ok to force them to carry out the pregnancy.
