The conspiracy theory virus

The events of 2020 have created an online world where conspiracy theories are easy to spread and grow. One example of this is QAnon - once a far-right fringe conspiracy theory that pushes the idea that the deep state is trying to take down President Trump. But this theory has now moved away from the corners of the internet and into our political discourse. Plus, how the pandemic could undo decades of progress for women in the workplace. And, an update on the stimulus bill. Guests: Axios' Stef Kight, Erica Pandey, and Alayna Treene. Credits: "Axios Today" is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries.
