    THE BIZARRE LOVE STORY OF BURT AND LINDA PUGACH: WHO IS TO BLAME?

    THE BIZARRE LOVE STORY OF BURT AND LINDA PUGACH: WHO IS TO BLAME?

    Who’s to blame for the tabloid “love story” of Burt and Linda Pugach?
    This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes back Kelly Hudson to discuss the troubling tale of Burt and Linda Pugach. What the tabloids once called a bizarre “love story” sounds a lot more like assault and oppression once you hear the facts. Will the problematic realities of the American nuclear family take the fall for this one? Perhaps male entitlement is to blame? And why is Agriculture up on the board? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
