Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra
Deep Dive
Shownotes Transcript
A foreign influence operation running wild in Congress. He was convinced that he was sitting on top of a sensational story. He was not bound by the truth or by facts. An international manhunt for a fascist American traitor. He becomes this sort of mythical, mysterious figure for the American right. There's so many instances where he seemed to fall through the cracks. A U.S. senator destroyed by blackmail.
All of that starts really a year from hell. The country's most outrageous political demagogue building a fanatical following, ascending toward the peak of American power. He is a saint and a martyr figure. Millions upon millions of devoted followers. They thought he was the only one speaking the truth. This is a story about getting away with treachery and coming back stronger. 20,000 men and women...
are here for this America First meeting. These people don't disappear, they just go underground. It's a story of heroes willing to face down tyranny. What he doesn't like is anyone who opposes him or exposes him. And the risk to the country if they fail.
When they didn't stand up to him, it only got worse. It only emboldened him. On the heels of the award-winning number one hit first season, from the team that brought you the chart-topping original series, Bagman, it's Rachel Maddow Presents Ultra Season 2.
