Today’s Jan 6 committee hearing will focus on efforts by Trump and his team to intimidate state and local election officials. A brief reminder thread from RWW reporting. #Jan6Justice
Georgia election officials were an early target of the so-called “Stop the Steal” campaign. See the recent Right Wing Watch video about Stop the Steal and organizer Ali Alexander
On Dec. 2, 2020, Alexander joined election conspiracy-promoting attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood and Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones pressuring state legislators to deliver the state’s Electoral College votes to Trump. rightwingwatch.org/post/stop-the-…
In mid-December, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins and other movement leaders called on state legislators in key states to overturn their elections, falsely claiming there was “no doubt” that Trump won. rightwingwatch.org/post/right-win…
Trump attorney Cleta Mitchell was on the infamous phone call on which Trump tried to bully Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” new votes and “recalculate” the results of the 2020 election to give Trump a win in the state. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
After Trump failed to overturn the election, Mitchell told a right-wing radio host she had warned GA GOP leaders if Trump supporters “do not see you walking barefoot across broken glass for this president, they’re not going to come out and vote again.” rightwingwatch.org/post/another-r…
Mitchell was also among right-wing movement leaders who signed a Dec. 30, 2020 letter to Senate Republicans urging them to “protect the republic” by contesting electors from battleground states won by Joe Biden. rightwingwatch.org/post/trump-law…
Perhaps nothing exposes the hollowness of right-wing “election integrity” rhetoric more than the fact that notorious Trump attorney Cleta Mitchell is running the national strategy to roll back voting rights

Who are the Proud Boys? The extremist group that Trump told to stay "stand back and stand by." 1/ rightwingwatch.org/post/what-you-…
What were the Proud Boys doing before Jan. 6? They made their presence known at so-called "Stop the Steal" rallies in Washington, DC. They looked for fights, and in most cases, started them. rightwingwatch.org/post/violence-…
In one instance on December 2020, members of the hate group shoved a counterprotester to the ground and began kicking him. When a woman tried to escort him away from danger, Proud Boys members sucker-punched him while another yanked her hair, throwing her to the ground.

“There’s no such thing as the separation of church and state,” says Christian nationalist David Lane in @washingtonpost video on recruiting North Carolina pastors to run for office. A #ChristianNationalism thread on Lane’s history, extremism and agenda: washingtonpost.com/video/politics…
Political operative David Lane has organized pastors to turn churches into GOTV operations for right-wing candidates since mid 1990s. His focus on getting pastors themselves to run for office is more recent, inspired by his pastor-politician Rob McCoy rightwingwatch.org/post/did-pence…
In December, David Lane talked about his work with NC Lt Gov Mark Robinson to recruit pastors and church leaders to run for office, calling it the “only shot to save America” because “we’ve given ourselves to the devil.”

On Saturday, an 18-year-old white man shot and killed 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket. Of the 13 people shot, 11 were Black. A thread:
The shooter posted a screed citing the white supremacist Great Replacement theory—an old racist ideology that has gained new life in recent years.
At its core is the false notion that white people are at risk of being replaced by Black and nonwhite people through immigration, interracial marriage, and increasing birth rates.

Justice Alito’s leaked draft ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade makes it clear just how far the anti-choice movement has come -- and signals more to come from a SCOTUS captured by the right-wing legal movement 1/ rightwingwatch.org/post/overturni…
Anti-choice groups talk about a “50-state battle” after Roe is gone, but they have already won many of those battles, passing increasingly severe restrictions and “trigger laws” that mean abortion bans will go into effect immediately in many states 2/ nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Some new laws have no exceptions even for children who are victims of rape and incest, and far-right legislators are competing to see who can introduce the most extreme bans, targeting birth control and threatening people who have miscarriages 3/

The far-right John Birch Society has joined the Family Research Council promoting smears against civil rights lawyer and circuit court nominee Nancy Abudu. Neither the attacks nor the attackers are credible. 1/5
The John Birch Society was once drubbed out of the conservative movement for promoting extremism and conspiracy theories 2/5 washingtonpost.com/history/2021/0…
But anti-govt extremism and conspiracies are dogma for the far right wing in the 21st Century 3/5 theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
