#SelectCommittee Chair Bennie Thompson showed video footage and read an opening statement that bolsters the case that the #Jan6 insurrection was planned. We chronicled some of that planning as it took shape.
Was it planned? Here's Jericho March founder Rob Weaver--an organizer of the so-called Stop the Steal rallies--on a Jan. 3 "prayer call." rightwingwatch.org/post/jericho-m…
Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers heaps praise upon radical right-wing commentator Josh Bernstein: "I just admire you so much."
Last year, Bernstein was banned from YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter after declaring that Rep. Ilhan Omar is a "worthless pile of shit" and proclaiming that "this bitch should be executed."
We've posted multiple clips of right-wing commentators advocating the Second Amendment as the proper response to COVID regulations/restrictions, but Stew Peters and DeAnna Lorraine say that if such a thing ever happens, it'll be a false flag.
Lots of people have watched our video of screaming pastor Greg Locke declaring that the military found children, dead and alive, in child-trafficking tunnels beneath the Capitol and White House. A thread on why it matters:
Locke is not just an online angry man. The performance from Global Vision Bible Church in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, is the latest in a slew of extremist speeches the influential Trump-loving right-wing pastor has made. His YouTube channel has nearly 60,000 subscribers.
As an adviser to Evangelicals for Trump, Locke strengthened ties between religious-right extremists and Trump. After a Sept. 2019 meeting at the White House, Locke told followers Trump “has come into the kingdom for such a time as this.”
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:
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…
