As the House’s Jan. 6 committee unearths new revelations, the heat is on in Trumpworld to protect Donald Trump by finding a patsy or two to blame for the riot.
On the latest episode of The Daily Beast’s Fever Dreams podcast, host Will Sommer and guest host Asawin Suebsaeng—returning to the podcast he helped launch—talk about the MAGA hunt to set someone up to take the fall for Trump.
“The more you talk to people who are advising Donald Trump daily on what they hope to be his every political or legal maneuver, the more you get the sense straight from the horse’s mouth that they think, ‘OK, there’s gonna be a fall guy here,’” said Suebsaeng, now a senior political reporter for Rolling Stone.
