MisinfoNation Part 2: Patriots, Pillows and Paper Ballots
CNN Senior Correspondent Donie O'Sullivan presents a new chapter in his investigation into the pervasive surge of misinformation targeting American elections.
In the months before the Republican National Convention, O'Sullivan crosses the country to see how plans to cause chaos and subvert November's presidential election are already well underway. He digs deep into how chaos agents like Steve Bannon and other influencers are utilizing a massive network of alternative media and social organizing to undermine American democracy.
"The conspiracy theories about the 2020 election that led to the storming of the US Capitol took most Americans by surprise, but these viral lies have not gone away and neither have the people who are promoting them," said O'Sullivan. "Conspiracy theories about America's elections are being seen everyday by millions of Americans. It is undermining faith in the democratic process and could cause all kinds of confusion and chaos in November." O'Sullivan added, "MisinfoNation 2 lays bare a world of election misinformation and the people who are empowering and promoting it."
In this episode, O'Sullivan speaks with salesman and renowned election denier Mike Lindell at his factory in Minnesota, where he churns out pillows and conspiracy theories. He also talks with MAGA influencers - many of them funded by Lindell and his ubiquitous advertisements - from the border at Southern California to the RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
