A popular Ecuadoran presidential candidate was shot dead while leaving a rally in the nation's capital on Wednesday, prompting President Guillermo Lasso to declare a state of emergency and blame the assassination on organized crime. Fernando Villavicencio, a 59-year-old anti-corruption crusader who had complained of receiving threats, was murdered as he was leaving a stadium in Quito after holding a campaign rally, officials said. Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this shocking event that took place in broad daylight and its impact on the Ecuadorian presidential race.
