Behind Steve Bannon’s Plan to Attack Democracy | Offline Podcast

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jennifer Senior talks about the internet’s original right-wing troll: Steve Bannon. Would the MAGA movement exist without Bannon? Would Bannon exist without the internet? Jennifer recently published an unsparing profile of Steve Bannon in The Atlantic. He granted her a ton of access, even inviting her to his father’s funeral. She sits down with Jon to talk about what she saw and how Bannon weaponized the internet to fuel the January 6th insurrection.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America—a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.
