How to Take Down the Creeps of Capitol Hill, with Mrs. Frazzled

About this episode

Brittany Packnett Cunningham discusses the creep crisis on Capitol Hill with Arielle Fodor and explores the implications of sexual misconduct allegations in politics.

Let’s be real: Capitol Hill has a creep crisis. In this episode, Brittany Packnett Cunningham sits down with creator Arielle Fodor—better known as Mrs. Frazzled—to unpack how a small group of women publicized the alleged sexual misconduct of former congressman and California gubernatorial hopeful Eric Swalwell. They get into the power of the whisper network, and why Democrats stay quiet when The Accused is one of their own. Plus, group chat bestie Dr. David Johns joins Brittany to break down this week’s UNtrending news—from Hungary to New Jersey. To subscribe to The Meteor: wearethemeteor.com/newsletters
