The women leaving the 'New Right' | It's Been A Minute

Defectors from the ‘New Right’ say that sexism is a feature, not a bug of modern-day conservatism.

New York Magazine’s Sam AdlerBell published The Young Women Leaving the New Right () , detailing the experiences of conservative women who say that rampant misogyny within the space is pushing them out of a community they helped build. From demanding that women stay home and out of public life to advocating for the repeal of civil rights law some conservative women have reached their limit. But host Brittany Luse wonderswill this change of heart stick in the voting booths? Or is this just more of the same?

To answer that question, Brittany is joined by Editor at Large of the 19th and NABJ President, Errin Haines () . Errin helps unpack the link between the ‘new’ and ‘old’ right, white women checkered political history, and how searching for community can sometimes lead people down dark paths.
