#165: Insurgence of the Tea Party as a Faction of Governance Dissatisfaction
The Tea Party may feel like a long time ago, but was it really just a movement? Or was it a much larger phenomenon? Dr. Rachel Blum, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Oklahoma and the Carl Albert Center, previews her book about the Tea Party's takeover of the Republican Party and shares how the Tea Party became one of the most disruptively consequential political movements in recent U.S. political history.
Check out Dr. Blum's website rachelmblum.com and her book available on Amazon!
