I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I invite all the cold-hearted, selfish Christian Nationalists in the Trump administration and Congress to point to the scripture wherein Jesus told them to withhold from the poor, needy, and hungry so they had more money to give instead to Herod's $300,000,000 golden ballroom. I'll wait.
