Con Inc Carnival Barkers: Benny Johnson and Andrew Tate Undermine Conservatism

In this episode of Firing Lane, we dive into the grift that threatens to undermine conservatism, starting with Benny Johnson’s ill-advised platforming of Andrew Tate—a self-aggrandizing provocateur whose shallow, fabricated narrative tarnishes the movement’s credibility. We expose how this spectacle is emblematic of the broader "Con Inc grift machine," where figures like Johnson, Tim Pool, and others prioritize clicks over convictions, often at the expense of conservatism’s intellectual integrity. By tying these antics to Johnson’s past involvement in Russian disinformation, we reveal how opportunism and sensationalism erode the foundation of the movement, alienating serious thinkers and tarnishing its reputation. This episode is a call to reject the grifters and recommit to principles, urging conservatives to reclaim their movement as a force for truth, integrity, and enduring values.
