MAGA Podcaster Storms Off From Debate After Getting Called Out to His Face

Jubilee A right-wing podcaster abruptly stormed off the set of a debate against a room full of progressives after being accused of fabricating outrage for profit.

Tim Pool, appearing on Jubilee’s “Surrounded” series, which pits one person against 20 people with opposing political views, was debating whether the United States is more prone to violence from the left or the right when the confrontation erupted.

The segment centered on Pool’s repeated claim that the country is “tracking toward a civil war.” Mason, an Instagram influencer known as OneHandPolitics who was among the first to challenge Pool, accused him of, among other things, saying “bulls--t to get money.” Mason initially claimed Pool had called for a “civil war” back in 2019, a characterization Pool quickly disputed.

“I’ve never called for civil war,” he said.

Mason corrected himself, clarifying Pool had instead said the country was on the brink of one.

Pool pushed back on the framing itself, noting he’d cited an Atlantic article quoting national security experts on the topic, and said, “I don’t actually have a strong prediction” about a second civil war.

Mason wasn’t buying it.

“You do have a strong prediction if you’ve been saying this since 2019,” he said.

“There’s 42, people can look this up.

There’s 42 of your titles that have the word civil war in it.

Like big fonts on the front.

So why is that? It’s sensationalist.

It’s easy to get clicks on that.

There’s a reason why you say it.
