The Garbage Election
The row over who said who is garbage refuses to go away, and it's starting to stink. It started as a controversial joke at a Trump rally, but the word has now become a problem for the Democrats too. Sarah and Anthony go through the story from the start and discuss whether it’s another ‘basket of deplorables’ moment.
