This is a good piece on Trump cultists at the recent Road to Majority conference, but calling Kat Kerr merely "a business owner" seems to be leaving a lot out! theguardian.com/us-news/2021/j…
60 bills targeting trans kids playing sports were introduced in state houses across the country.
Many of the bills have a common thread: the religious-right powerhouse Alliance Defending Freedom’s fingerprints are all over them. A thread: rightwingwatch.org/report/unsport…
As RWW’s @petemont describes ADF, the group has “a budget of more than $50 million and a ‘legal army’ of allied attorneys who give ADF an expanding footprint within the U.S. justice system." ADF has vehemently fought against LGBTQ rights for decades. rightwingwatch.org/post/pence-pra…
ADF helped Idaho state Rep. Barbara Ehardt draft a bill preventing trans girls and women from competing on women’s and girls’ sports teams. Identical language from that legislation was found in bills proposed in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Kansas.
It is genuinely insane that QAnon conspiracy theorist/self-proclaimed "prophet" Johnny Enlow spoke on a panel at last weekend's "Road to Majority" conference, where he warned that the world is on the verge of falling under "deep state Illuminati possession."
This was an officially sanctioned and scheduled panel at the event:
This was the same conference, organized by Ralph Reed's Faith & Freedom Coalition, where multiple elected Republican leaders spoke:
Right-wing activists who believe former President Donald Trump’s false claim that the election was stolen from him are watching Arizona, where GOP Senate leaders hired a company led by a conspiracy theorist to “audit” the 2020 presidential election in Maricopa County.
“What’s happening in Arizona is not really an audit or a recount. It’s a partisan inquisition” that could further erode trust in elections and legitimate recounts, wrote FiveThirtyEight’s Kayleigh Rogers last week. fivethirtyeight.com/features/post-…
Why did @SonnyBorrelli, who is an Arizona state senator and Senate Majority Whip, recently appear on a radio program along side unhinged right-wing commentator Josh Bernstein? facebook.com/watch/live/?v=…
Trump dead-ender Eric Metaxas continues to insist that nobody has provided an explanation of why Georgia election workers allegedly pulled out a "suitcase" full of votes after observers were sent home on election night. bit.ly/2LTf3gp
