There\u2019s so much packed into the latest edition of The New Abnormal, it\u2019s hard to know where to start. Let\u2019s see\u2026 Molly Jong-Fast heralds the return of Matt \u201cHot Tub Crime Machine\u201d Whittaker, the one-time Attorney General. (He mixes \u201ca toxic cocktail of macho mega swagger, the angry cant of the Christian [ultra-conservative], and the whining of a petulant child.\u201d) Rick Wilson wonders whether Trumpists could \u201csolve a complex puzzle, like stacking blocks in order,\u201d and ponders the contents of Ted Cruz\u2019s erotic fan fiction. Plus! Former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu goes deep on his long fight to take down confederate monuments. And Sleeping Giants\u2019 Matt Rivitz talks about what it\u2019s like to take on Brietbart, Bill O\u2019Reilly, and Tucker Carlson \u2014 and win. He\u2019s been pushing advertisers to drop the race-baiters, and they\u2019ve responded. \u201cThis is like the Super Bowl... It's like, okay, brands finally get it. What they choose to support with their media dollars really drives the conversation.\u201d
