https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2017/06/02/trump-regime-courting-michael-savage-fringe-radio-host-who-claimed-autism-ptsd-and-depression-are/216750Vice President Mike Pence and Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt are appearing on Michael Savages radio program in the wake of criticism surrounding the administrations decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. Savage is a climate change denier who has used his radio program to attack people with autism, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression, and has advocated for killing 100 million Muslims.
Savage has no credibility to talk about anything of substance, as Media Matters has documented. Hes called autism "a fraud and a racket"; said people with PTSD and depression are "losers"; advised people not to get flu shots because you can't trust the government; theorized that liberals have been driven insane because of seltzer bubbles; and claimed that the asthma epidemic amongst minority children is actually "a money racket" because the children got extra welfare if they were disabled. Like President Trump, Savage believes that manmade climate change is a scam and a hoax.
He has also pushed numerous conspiracy theories and has advocated killing 100 million Muslims. The radio host once worked for MSNBC but was fired when he told a critical caller to "get AIDS and die.
In 2008, he warned, I fear that Obama will stir up a race war in order to seize absolute power.
Savage also claimed that Obama wants to infect the nation with Ebola and the then-president was gearing up the government to fight a war against white people. Savage accused Obama of engaging in genocide against the white race during the last year of Obamas presidency.
Pence is scheduled to appear on Savages radio program The Savage Nation later today. He previously appeared on Savages program in early March and was urged by the radio host to limit immigration before the country turns into a one-party state like California. During that interview, Pence said that he knows how much Trump appreciates and respects, and admires you and your voice in the national debate.
Pruitt appeared on Savages June 1 program, where they both praised Trumps decision to remove the United States from the Paris accord. During the interview, Savage falsely claimed that much of the science today thats being quoted on climate change is fake science. Pruitt, a climate change denier, agreed with Savage by saying that the American people deserve truth and suggested there should be a debate about climate change science. Savage concluded the interview by thanking Pruitt for driving the debate in the right direction.
Savage said in February that he sat with the president for well over an hour, alone at Mar-a-Lago and related that he told Trump the story about global warming by pushing junk science about climate change. (Savage's wife, Janet, is a member of the club.)
Trump has been a repeat guest on Savages program and told him (according to Savage) that without you I wouldnt be president.
