Season 3: Disinfomaniacs Episode 2

In the second episode of Disinfomaniacs, we take a deep dive into the group of Christian Nationalists who staged a coup d'etat on January 28 and seized control of the executive committee of the Maine Republican Party. Andy O'Brien explains the background of new chairmen Joel Stetkis, while Nathan Bernard tells us about Heidi Sampson, whose votes and backers helped propel Stetkis to a landslide victory over the incumbent party chair Demi Kouzounas. And Crash has a long conversation with Vice-Chair Sam Bridges, the newly elected 18-year-old self-described Christian Nationalist who came out of nowhere to win the second-in-command position.
