What makes you think it’s satire? The interviewer is obviously trying to point out the hypocrisy, but it’s not obvious to me that the interviewee is acting.
The hat is brand new, there's no evidence of any other rallyers or MAGA supporters in the background, and the setting is just... weird. The response from the interviewee is also very choherent and he offers no real resistance to the interviewer. That's not to say MAGA interviewees are generally incoherent, just that the answer seems very pre-prepared/rehearsed.
Edit: by resistance, I mean the interviewee falls into the trap too easily. Most real interviews, you'd see the interviewee backpedal or try to justify their exceptional viewpoint; this person doesn't.
This is channel 5 on youtube. Ive been watching for years and this guy is an extremely honest journalist, although is left leaning. So while there may be a possibility that this is set up, i HIGHLY doubt it based on the work he has done in the past.
Just because they've done legit stuff in the past, doesn't mean they wouldn't do satire. Don't get me wrong, I'm not citing this as an indictment of their credibility, I'm just saying this video seems satirical in nature. The point it makes is still extremely valid.
…yeah of course its satire. Im just saying the guy hes interviewing probably actually believes the stuff hes saying. Thats why its funny. Bc we are in on the joke and hes not

Looks like satire, but makes a real point. (As most satire often does)
