Summary

Mea Culpa welcomes the former Oath Keeper who testified before the January 6th Committee, Jason Van Tatenhove. A one-time tattoo shop owner, Van Tatenhove studied fine art in college and as a journalist, in 2014, he embedded with the Oath Keepers while following the story of Cliven Bundy and the rancher’s standoff with law enforcement.  Later, Jason went on to become the Oath Keepers National Media Director. But after being silenced by the Oath Keepers leader, Stewart Rhodes, for his support of same-sex marriage, Van Tatenhove distanced himself from the group. He did not attend or support the January 6th Insurrection, but he did the country a great service when he testified to the committee. Helping us all understand more about the inner-workings of extremist para-military groups like the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys. Michael and Jason talk about what Jason believes is coming for democracy and what it's like to work for egomaniacs.
