1067 - Bride of DataRepublican feat. David J. Roth (8/31/26)
Summary
Chapo Trap House discusses the "Data Republican" saga, a deaf, nonverbal woman working for the Department of Defense who believes she is being set up for treason by the "deep state." The hosts analyze her delusional social media presence, her failed data projects, and the broader implications of incompetent, internet-savvy individuals holding government power. They also cover the return of former Twitter personality Kurt Schlichter to the Pentagon and the fraud case of a man who scammed women by pretending to be an NFL wide receiver.
