#157: Holiday Traditions and Is Cortez a Progressive

This holiday season, Cellar Door Skeptics is working hard at bringing you an episode every week. This week the duo puts forth a discussion built on the holidays but with a twist. The episode starts talking about Brett K the failure and the dismissal of all the ethical complaints lodged against him from the hearings. The good news is that there is a local charity you can support called Haven that helps domestic violence victims and sexual assault victims locally.

The episode continues with a look at christmas and holiday traditions from around the world. They talk about their favorite traditions and what they learned from those around the world who also celebrate the holiday in their own fashion. They move on to look at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive beliefs. They talk through her support of Nancy Pelosi along with her new proposed Green New Deal.

The show ends with Hanna’s and Tanner’s Quick Saves of the week.
