080: The MAGA Brain Rot Threatening to Undermine Midterm Elections feat. Hunter Walker

Midterm elections are approaching and early polling shows it's poised to be a bloodbath for the MAGA movement. But Americans may be in for a wild November, thanks to a crew of brain-rotted election denialists now working inside the US government. (One of them happens to be the president.)

Hunter Walker, an investigative reporter at Talking Points Memo, has been following the MAGA movement's efforts to upend American democracy for more than a decade. He joins Mike and Jared to talk about the Trump Administration's recent raid of an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, and the wacky cast of characters who set it into motion. He warns listeners that we have to take efforts to undermine elections seriously, no matter how insane some of these people sound.

Remember to disinfect your “poisoned" sodas with a touch of alcohol, because Americans are likely to see elections come under direct threat this November.
