In this episode TUX focuses on how and why Ronald Reagan is personally responsible for the death of tens of thousands of Americans who died of AIDS in the 1980s. We 🥂 to a long legacy of American presidents doing nothing to stop a public health crises and rather ignoring them and hoping it doesn’t hurt their approval ratings.
