Vandersteel is a right-wing conspiracy theorist who once bragged about being a member of the “Trump Team 2020 FL Media Advisory Board,” forcing the Trump campaign to publicly disavow her. Now she serves as host of her own daily program called “Steel Truth” and has been a regular participant in the traveling cavalcade of election, COVID-19, and QAnon conspiracy theorists who make up the ReAwaken America tour.
She now appears to have joined the sovereign citizens movement, whose followers view the U.S. government as illegitimate and thus believe they are free to ignore its laws. The FBI has designated the movement a domestic terror threat.
“I decided to become an American state national,” Vandersteel told hosts Joe Oltmann and Max McGuire.
