Tea’s Weird Week, S5 ep03: Butterfly Sanctuary Conspiracy Attack

The National Butterfly Center is a beautiful nature sanctuary in Mission, Texas, near the Mexican border. Who would be demented enough to accuse them of harboring drug dealers, pedophiles, and murderers? Oh right, QAnon. Sadly, they've shown up at the center to harass its employees. Eric and Kim Hayden, producers of the American Madness documentary, talk about their recent trip to the National Butterfly Center to conduct interviews.
