A searing, vital investigation of the Republican Party’s dangerous campaign to rewrite history in real time, from the Emmy Award-winning Rachel Maddow Show producer and bestselling author of The Impostors, Steve Benen.
Rachel Maddow talks with Steve Benen, MaddowBlog editor and author of "Ministry of Truth: Democracy, Reality, and the Republicans' War on the Recent Past," about how Republicans have grown increasingly comfortable simply denying inconvenient facts or constructing false histories to avoid having to deal with being associated with unpopular policies and events.
Steve Benen, editor of the MaddowBlog and author of the newly released, "Ministry of Truth" talks with Alex Wagner about the Republican tactic of gaslighting and re-writing history with facts that are more favorable to their narratives and ends.
"We talked to Steve Benen, author of a called Ministry of Truth, who explains how the Fox News panic shows the limits of Republican propaganda—and why the Trump-MAGA-GOP addiction to lying is pushing our system to the breaking point."
