Moms for Liberty has fallen on hard times. Membership is dwindling in some precincts, and its school board candidates are on a losing streak. Co-founder Bridget Ziegler is embroiled in a sex scandal involving her husband, former Florida GOP Chair Christian Ziegler, and parents are running brutal ads attacking her. We chatted with journalist Jennifer Berkshire, the author of a forthcoming book on battles over education, who explains the bigger story here: The right is now on the defensive in the culture wars.
What’s bad for MAGA is best for America.
I mean, I want to believe. But these pop-up shops have always been disposable. Moms for Liberty. Project Veritas. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. They aren't built to last.
