QAnon vs. The GOP – Can Trump’s party survive?

Donald Trump promised to expose Jeffrey Epstein’s secrets but now he’s backing away, and the conspiracy crowd that once adored him is asking some serious questions. Can Trump survive the fallout from the QAnon movement he helped ignite? And even if he does, what will it mean for the future of his party, beyond his time as president Today in The Bunker, Chris Jones is joined by Mike Rothschild, journalist and author of The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything, to ask whether the Republican Party can survive its toxic entanglement with conspiracy theorists.
