On The Gist, BuzzFeed’s new report on Trump. 

Earlier this week Rep. Steve King was denounced by much of his party because of remarks he gave to the New York Times about white supremacy.

The Gist - Know Your Memes, or Be Fooled by Them

On the Gist, the knife-wielding skills of Nancy Pelosi.

In the interview, An Xiao Mina has tracked the meme from its goofy origins to its use in anti-authoritarian protest and (more recently) disinformation.
