Front Burner

During the presidential debate this week, Donald Trump once again talked about how he didn’t lose the 2020 election.

It’s a false claim that many Americans believe. And some of those believers are getting ready to fight following what they think could be another stolen election in November.

ProPublica’s Joshua Kaplan has been reporting on the American Patriots Three Percent, or AP3, and one of the largest active militia groups in the U.S. Despite a wider crackdown on paramilitary groups after January 6th, AP3 has so far managed to avoid much scrutiny.

Joshua gives host Jayme Poisson an inside view of the militia group, perspective on how much of a threat they are, and what the stakes are ahead of the U.S election.
