Aaron Flint wasn’t happy being just a conservative radio talk show host. After convincing his audience that the only problem Montana has is Epstein-loving Democrats, no amount of inconvenient reality indicating otherwise will be allowed to derail the blimp of insanity this radio host has tied his political future to:
With a month to go before voting begins in the 2026 U.S. House primary election, Aaron Flint stood in a candidate-crowded gymnasium in Superior firing off some of his talk radio hits: Epstein, trans athletes, immigration.
“The Montana Democrat Party,” the presumptive Republican frontrunner told the audience, “is tragically the party of Epstein.”
Flint, who hosts the “Montana Talks” radio program, insisted there was money from the dead celebrity pedophile to be “given back,” without suggesting who such money might be given to. The tendons in his neck strained with intensity as he spoke. Flint, 46, is a military veteran with a trim physique and neat haircut that would still pass Army grooming standards. His black T-shirt featured a chalk-white characterization of the American flag in the shape of Montana punctuated by “AF.”
When Aaron Flint told the Montana Free Press that the Montana Democratic Party “is tragically the party of Epstein” it was before Melania Trump launched her weird press conference. It was also before Trump threatened to destroy an entire civilization, dropped an F-bomb before praising Allah on Easter, and then posted the latest AI slop depicting himself as Jesus. So, with this context in mind, who is going to be the real “Panican” in this election?

I didn’t start writing publicly 16 years ago to elect politicians or support one political party over another, so when I started researching the Epstein connections to Big Sky Country at the beginning of this year what I found was published, for free, without any consideration for party affiliation. That’s what truth-seeking members of the media should be doing.
Aaron Flint isn’t a member of the media anymore, he’s a politician shilling for the “conservative” deep pockets trying to keep the deeply fractured Republican party from totally self-destructing in Montana. Flint’s announcement was highly coordinated and his only opponent, Dr. Al, is most likely a fake candidate who’s political run allows Aaron to keep his primary money, something candidate Brian Schweitzer was said to have done during a run for Governor.
Here’s a question worth asking: what will the Freedom Caucus wing of the Montana Republican Party do when Aaron Flint inevitably wins the primary? Will they mindlessly vote for this MAGA Trump-puppet following orders for Oracle Greg and Empty-Hat Austin, or is there enough independent thought within the Freedom Caucus to make Flint’s transition to political puppet a little bit more rocky than he’s expecting?
Some of this depends on who Democrats choose in the primary, so I’ll be making the case soon about which Democrat candidate I think will give Aaron Flint his stiffest competition. Another variable Aaron Flint should be mindful of is the Turning Point problem, since researchers like me aren’t shy about asking WHY some curious Turning Point characters showed up in Montana just one month after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Here’s another problem: if Trump’s war for Israel escalates to a ground invasion, Mr. Veteran, Aaron Flint, is going to have a tough time maintaining this rhetorical bullshit, regardless of how many breakfasts his voice has been a part of:
“You’re with them at their breakfast table every morning, in their pickup. You’re in the combine cab with them. And they really get to know you, not only what you think about the issues, but they get to know you as a person,” Flint said.
Listeners with their kids off to school and windows rolled up find in Flint a voice that’s unabashed about saying the quiet parts — opinions they might think twice before sharing at work, or in church — out loud. Like President Donald Trump, Flint amplifies normally private doubts and fears and disputes about transgender people, or vaccines, or immigrants, while providing a safe haven for conservative politicians to demonize Democrats.
Flint has brought that same bullhorn to his campaign.
“Donald Trump is doing a great job, but radical politicians like AOC, Mamdani and Bernie, they’ve taken over Washington. But here’s the deal — they’re coming for Montana next. Sanctuary cities, boys in girls’ sports, public lands being fenced off, locals being priced out, and our way of life being pushed aside,” Flint said in the campaign video that served as his campaign’s curtain raiser.
Locals being priced out? Then why does Gianforte collaborate with Ellie Boldman on housing? Public lands fenced off? Uh, check your Governor, bro. And don’t get me started on the “sanctuary city” branding that triggered liberal lawyers in Helena for the well-laid trap they walked into so that Empty Hat Austin can look strong by putting them in their place.
Once upon a time conservatives valued things like the Constitution, and privacy, and helping the AMERICAN workforce. Now they’re members of the Peter Thiel party where public money paves the way to a total panopticon as Oracle casually fires 30,000 workers amidst massive corporate profits.
For those paying attention to how American workers feel about being squeezed tighter and tighter and tighter, I guarantee you this is just the beginning:

One surefire reality of politics in 2026 is that candidates have to be responsive to billionaires, so let me give Aaron Flint one final warning about his new career trajectory: when I agreed with Jeff Bezos in 2024 it was because the media had become so fucking odious that I couldn’t help celebrating Bezos’ smackdown of his media property. This quote from Bezos, sadly, still resonates:
In the annual public surveys about trust and reputation, journalists and the media have regularly fallen near the very bottom, often just above Congress. But in this year’s Gallup poll, we have managed to fall below Congress. Our profession is now the least trusted of all. Something we are doing is clearly not working.
Remember this sentiment, Aaron, and remember it wasn’t just the liberal director of United Way I told you about in that DM.
