Description

Dr. Jo-Marie Burt, associate professor of political science and Latin American Studies at the Schar School Dr. Jo-Marie Burt, associate professor of political science and Latin American Studies at George Mason University and Senior Fellow at the Washington Office on Latin America and an expert on Peru joins DOOMED with Matt Binder to discuss the still undecided election in Peru where the leftist candidate Pedro Castillo has pulled ahead of the right wing Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, who is in prison for corruption and human rights abuses. We discuss the candidates, Fujimori's claims of fraud, and how Shining Path "played a role" in the campaign. Plus on the patron half of the show, listeners call in to discuss more about Peru, plus does the COVID vaccine make you magnetized? Of course not, but a conspiracy theory is spreading claiming it does. Matt breaks it down. Support the show: http://www.patreon.com/mattbinder
