During September’s Republican debates, presidential candidates urged fellow Republicans to do everything in their power to defund Planned Parenthood, some going as far as encouraging a government shutdown. Last year, Nye recorded a similar video for Big Think talking about his increasingly infuriating experiences against skeptics and deniers both in the general population and in the media.
