I've never heard Hugh discuss John and Ken on the radio. If he has, I missed it.
Sounds out of character, IMHO.
They're not saying he talked about them on air. They're saying he made a comment about them at an Orange County Republicans meeting.
I think John and Ken are right in that Hugh is pretty much a shill for the Republicans but...
I also think Hugh's assessment that J&K are Nihlists is correct...
They just happen to be darn effective nihlists...
