Cenk hosting. While a Democratic tracker was taping Rand Paul’s campaign stop, one of his aides decided to lick the camera while obstructing the shot. Video of the creepy and disgusting move. Allan West posted about how pissed he was that Sharia Law has infiltrated WalMart. While trying to check out and buy some alcohol, he noticed that one lane wouldn’t allow alcohol sales. He assumed this was a Sharia Law checkout lane. Ted Cruz endured an interview with Mark Halperin where he seemed to run through his Latino credentials. After many were outraged over Halperin’s line of questioning to validate Cruz, he had to apologize. Cenk rules on the comparison that it would be egregious to ask then Senator Obama if he liked soul food or rap music. He pardons Halperin for his questions. Seymour Hersh wrote an article that disputes the official story of the Osama bin Laden raid and killing that was told by the Administration and the military. His story is thinly sourced and has caused a lot of reaction and scrutiny. Cenk explains why he falls somewhere in the middle between the two camps. The detractors and protectors of the Establishment came out in full force against Hersh and his story. Videos of many usual critics of president Obama that are now supporting his story.

Ana joins Cenk for SCS. A female employee of a company deleted a tracking app from her phone that allowed her employer to track her every move when she wasn’t at work. After her boss bragged about being able to watch her every move when she is on her personal time, she deleted it, so she was fired. A failed furniture store owner in Lawrence, KS has gone on tirades with aggressive messages targeting “commies & Liberals” of the area.
