Lawfare Daily: Rachel Maddow Talks McCarthy, Fascism, and Ultra

Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes sits down with MSNBC talk show host Rachel Maddow, creator of the new podcast series, Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra, Season II. They discuss the ideological aftermath of World War II on the American far right, the rise of Sen. Joe McCarthy, and the rhetorically incredible cast of characters around him. Why do we remember McCarthy merely as a fierce anticommunist demagogue and not as a neo-Nazi?To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
