Host Reed Galen is joined by Andy Campbell, Senior Editor at HuffPost and an expert on American extremism. They discuss how the Proud Boys, which started as a blundering fraternity-like club, grew into the far-right extremist organization that played a significant role in the January 6th attack. Plus, how does bothsidesism in the media continue to fuel the growth of the Proud Boys as an organization…even though so many of its leaders and members are facing significant time behind bars? For more on this be sure to pick up Andy's new book, We Are Proud Boys, available wherever fine books are sold.
