Description
Weird Little Guys is a weekly show about the worst people you’ve never heard of, taking you beyond the headlines to get to know the race warriors and aspiring terrorists trying to unravel the fabric of our society. Weaving together the origin stories of modern American white supremacist groups and the crimes that land their members in court, independent journalist Molly Conger exposes the monsters for what they really are - some weird guy. Whether they’re conspiring to build bombs or serving swastika shaped cookies at a dinner party, the weird little guys trying to destroy America are a little less scary with their masks off.

When someone left a bomb at a Civil War reenactment event in 2017, it looked like antifascist activists were out for revenge after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. A mysterious letter writer claiming to be an antifascist collective took credit for the bomb and threatened even more violence to come if Civil War reenactments weren't called off. But the bomber wasn't antifa - it was a spurned Confederate re-enactor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Great series, phenomenal episode! I am not sure if I remember Falcon and The Snowman being based on a true story, but I am so thrilled THIS story made this WEIRD connection to one of my favorite spy movies of all time. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a watch and really close to the story told in this epsiode. Only they made margaritas and not Mai Tais. Ha! Molly, from one Virginian to another...thank you for the work you do.
