Tina and Hillary cover George W. Lee and Steve Lough.
George Wesley Lee was a prominent civil rights leader in Humphreys County Mississippi. BUT when he continued to push for equal voting rights for blacks, he was murdered.
Steve Lough worked for years with the Ringling Brothers circus. BUT when he saw bozos like Trump running for office, he decided that a real clown should join the clowns in Congress.
