Your Freakshow guides have recently introduced you to Italian oaf, Melania pal, and Trump’s “envoy” for global partnerships - a made-up, non State Department diplomatic-appearing role. Today we got to spend an hour with investigative journalist Bekah Day, who from her perch in Kansas City, broke the Amanda Ungaro deportation story months before the New York Times noticed. She has kept eyes on this creepy spectacle for far longer than we have.
Bekah just published an exhaustive record of Mr. Zampolli’s long strange career at the UN, Skeletons in the Diplomatic Closet. Minutes before it went online she was kicked off TikTok, where she has 1.4 million followers - an event that Mr. Zampolli celebrated on his Instagram account. Thank you Letter from Laurel Canyon, Rarelightmare, Jeanne Elbe, Mar, Patricia Scott, and many others for tuning into my live video with Katie Chenoweth and bekah day! .
