With Stop-theArizona Wingnut Wendy Rogers is a fervent Steal Fanatic. the Super BowlChildren are exposed to the show “evil, wicked, Satanic” things (her words), there’s a very real “performance-related Satanic Panic that’s been brewing for a little while now in the U.S.,”Weill added that theThe same fear bubbled up again after. theDeathly Travis Scott performance at Astroworld December.
