Jimmy Dore followers, and I only see his stuff here, a question

He is interviewing a Boogaloo Boy on his podcast.
My understanding that the Boogaloo Boys were/active in the DC Insurrection and I know for a fact they were at the 17 January 2021 protrump demonstrations here in Columbus.

The Boogaloo Boys are antithetical to many of (capital L)(capital D) beliefs of Liberal Democracy, so why is he doing this?

snip-"Federal officials also said the seven men tied to the Wolverine Watchmen militia group -- Paul Bellar, Shawn Fix, Eric Molitor, Michael Null, William Null, Pete Musico and Joseph Morrison -- support the “boogaloo” movement.

This movement is dedicated to “eradicating the government and killing law enforcement officers,” according to NBC News. Members of the movement have attacked and killed police officers in recent months, “often in attempts to ignite what they believe will be a second civil war,” NBC News said."

peaceful attendees at BLM protests, and as far as I know, the only police officer killed at a BLM protest was at the hands of a Boogaloo Boy.

6. Jimmy Dore is from the Glenn Greenwald wing of "progressivism""

That is to say, his only core principle is a seething hatred of the Democratic Party. He'll find himself cozying up to Putin, Boogaloo Boys, Scientologists... and anyone else who hates Democrats.
