Ana replaces John for SCS. A 13 year old girl in Tacoma, Washington committed suicide after her father publicly shamed her online by cutting off her hair as punishment. After it was posted online by a 3rd party, she responded by killing herself. Jimmy rails on this form of punishment. Cenk is more torn. An opponent of Caitlyn Jenner disputed her courage by comparing her to men with real courage, soldiers.
