Dirtbag Left is a term coined by Amber A'Lee Frost[1] to refer to a loose group of leftist American media figures. Members include the hosts of podcast Chapo Trap House, and, ostensibly, Brace Belden.[2] Will Menaker has referred to the term as "...a nice way of describing a kind of scurrilous and funny approach to left-wing politics...".[3] Publications The Baffler and Current Affairs have also been associated with the Dirtbag Left.[4]
