Can Moms for Liberty Swing an Election?

Moms for Liberty call themselves a “parent’s rights group,” but the Southern Poverty Law Center calls them an “anti-government extremist” group. Even if they don’t all have kids, these “moms” do have goals for the future of education in America—and quite a bit of clout.

Guest: Kiera Butler, senior editor at Mother Jones reporting on how purveyors of disinformation target online communities of women.
