Ex-GOP rep. Joe Walsh calls Donald Trump a DICTATOR, blasts his coronavirus response

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to former Republican congressman and former presidential candidate Joe Walsh. He discusses the anti-Trump conservative movements gunning for a Joe Biden victory over President Donald Trump. Walsh also explains how he, a self-described Tea Party non-interventionist, could support Joe Biden, who has supported military interventions in the Middle East. He talks about branding Trump as a dictator, his allegations that masses of conservatives are leaving the Republican Party, Trump’s chancing of winning 2020, and why Trump’s support is like a sinking ship, his belief that Trump is a puppet of Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, and much more! Finally, we speak to legendary political cartoonist Steve Bell. He discusses the Sunday Telegraph report that he was fired from the Guardian over misogyny and racism, which he describes as completely untrue. He tells us the real reason he left the Guardian, the thinking behind his portrayals of Boris Johnson and Sir Keir Starmer, Boris Johnson’s coronavirus response, his personal experiences with Britain’s prime minister, the downfall of Jeremy Corbyn, and much more!

STATEMENT ADDITION

STATEMENT FROM THE TELEGRAPH BUSINESS EDITOR:
1. I have never reported that Mr Bell was sacked.
2. I have never drawn a causal link between his departure from the Guardian and allegations of racism made against him.
3. I have never made any mention of alleged misogyny in relation to Mr Bell.
