Terris joins this episode of The New Abnormal politics podcast to share some highlights from his book, which includes wacky inside moments he witnessed—like the sad story of Ian Walters, Trump circle member and CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp’s right-hand man and the fashion faux pas Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) didn’t want people to know about.
“I was specifically asked not to mention that by Matt Gaetz,” Terris tells co-host Andy Levy.
Terris also tells Levy about the time that he asked Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) if he was still a virgin.
Plus, Andy and his co-host Danielle Moodie take on the latest politics news and Stacey Stevenson, CEO of Family Equality, an LGBTQ organization directed at creating safe, happy, healthy environments for LGBTQ people and their families, joins as a guest to chat about how Florida’s anti-LGBTQ legislation is leading the community to “becoming refugees in their own country.”
