Description

Dan Bongino is pushing a stolen election conspiracy theory, and he's
gaining followers. Some far-right commentators like Dan are flocking to
apps like Parler and Rumble, where they don't have to be fact checked by
Facebook and Twitter. POLITICO reporter Maggie Severns tells Scott Bland
about the conservative pundits and fringe outlets whose conspiracies
will dominate far-right messaging for the next four years.
