Episode 599 - Does the Left's "Tea Party" Have Teeth? (w/ Oliver Larkin)

from Bad Faith

FL-25 Congressional candidate Oliver Larkin has been going viral over the past week for his exceptional skill at parrying bad faith corporate media questions about the DSA platform without throwing his principles under the bus. But when he's not shutting down Fox news interviews by pivoting to MAGA's Epstein-affiliated leader, he's fighting to win Debbie Wasserman Schutlz's old district and join the House as a committed DSAer. Unlike Michigan's Will Lawrence, who has immediately distanced himself from DSA post-win, saying his membership has "lapsed" while pledging to vote for Hakeem Jefferies as speaker, Larkin says he'll defend the platform, would vote with other left candidates as a bloc, and will not pre-endorse Jeffries. Is this was a genuine adversarial entryist candidate looks like? For more about Oliver Larkin's race: t.co/Co3N8zLPfn Find Bad Faith on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.
