In case you missed it last week, I wrote about my time undercover for The Nation (Undercover With the New Alt Right). When the article came out, I was actually at the Young Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas — and so was Gavin Wax, president of the New York Young Republican Club, and a side character in my story. Today, I released a piece on my experience at YRNC and Wax’s reaction to my story, The War Within the Young Republican Party.

Wax was not a fan, as you can tell from this short clip:

It was a truly bizarre experience, so please go give it a read!

Later this week I’ll be posting some more audio from my time undercover, as well as background information on Republicans for National Renewal.

I’m just reading this, i think you have put a finger on an only worsening problem. I first followed your work on Fever Dreams and QAA but wasn’t sure if you were continuing until I saw the info on the Republican Convention. Thank you, for continuing to go where not many of us would like to, your insight is important.

I would like to leave tips but I’m not sure how to in Substack . Please advise 😎
