Ex-Oath Keepers spokesman on the 'war of mythologies' (Feat. Jason Van Tatenhove)

Before he became Oath Keepers spokesperson, Jason Van Tatenhove had been an aspiring gonzo journalist with a sense of adventure. So, he set out to the Bundy ranch with hopes to embed with Stewart Rhodes in 2014. He says that journey ended when he overheard a disturbing conversation with members engaging in Holocaust denialism. Van Tatenhove left the group long before the attack on the U.S. Capitol, but he shared his insights from his time there as a witness for the Jan. 6th Committee. In this week's podcast, Van Tatenhove discusses his new book “The Perils of Extremism,” threats he faced after his congressional testimony, and how to win the "war of mythologies."
