You're listening to Fox News Radio.

I'm Ben Dominic.

I'm here today with one of my favorite writers, David Harsani.

He's a senior writer at the Washington Examiner, the author of several books, including his most recent one, The Rise of Blue Anon, How the Democrats became a Party of Conspiracy theorists.

David, thanks so much for taking the time to join me today.

Yeah, thanks for having me.

Appreciate it.

So this is a phenomenon that I think we've become familiar with over the past couple of years in drips and drabs.

And I think that you, you know, had the right idea of setting out to describe it as part of a larger phenomenon that needed to receive further attention and to be untangled in a way, you know, how this came to be.

You know, the Democrats like to espouse themselves as being the fact-based party, you know, one that deals in reality, one that deals in laws, order, and norms.

And yet they seem to have also become the most conspiratorial in terms of their perspective on politics.

At the same time that they take this notion, there's obviously familiarity with conspiracies that exist on the American right.

But on the American left, there seems to be a real, you know, absence of awareness.

This is kind of a, you know, check the log in your own eye before the spec and your brother's situation.

So to walk me through a little bit, you know, how you started to cotton onto this phenomenon, what were some of the first signs that that perked up for you of the lean on the left

in this direction?

Well, the Russia collusion hoax was one of the main reasons I thought of it.

But what really made me want to write a book was the notion of

election denialism, which I'm not going to say the right doesn't participate in. But I got to

thinking about how, you know, how Democrats, since 2000 at least, have been election deniers people forget in 2004

john carrie almost every major democrat almost every single one of them question the veracity of

ohio and the votes there and diable machines and all that then i started thinking about funnily enough, Michael Moore, right, in the 2000s. He had a documentary, which was completely just unhinged about George Bush and all that. I watched that one.
