A Day With Lauren Boebert’s Doomsaying Diners at Shooter’s Grill
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! As we begin another week on indictment watch, Kelly Rissman finds Donald Trump attacking the justice system and celebrating the Jan. 6 rioters during his weekend rally in Waco, which coincided with the 30th anniversary of the siege. (As John Erick Dowdle, who co-developed new Showtime series Waco: The Aftermath, recently told Vanity Fair: “Without Waco, the January 6 insurrection would not have happened, full stop.”)
Now, delving even deeper into the American right, in an excerpt from The Undertow, Jeff Sharlet visits with the doomsaying diners at Lauren Boebert’s (now-shuttered) Shooter’s Grill. “Things are going down the hole. Fast,” says one. Plus, Caleb Ecarma explores how the “open borders” myth pushed in right-wing media might be helping fuel the migration crisis. Thanks for reading.
