It’s so grotesque. The GOP’s state Supreme Court candidate, Dan Kelly, knows his anti-LGBTQ policies are unpopular, so he’s scamming voters by campaigning w/ Scott Presler, a sellout political operative who’s gay. “We can’t be that bad if a gay man supports us, right?” Wrong. 1/ 
Scott Presler founded Gays for Trump. He’s an operative. The Christian Right and their preferred candidates use Presler to make voters underestimate their plans to attack LGBTQ rights. Because he’s gay. How horrifically cynical is that? 2/

5/ “It’s always done like this — whether getting women to champion other women’s oppression or Jews who supported Hitler — but it’s absolutely essential to get…token member of targeted group to promote agenda & even more tragic is ppl keep buying this garbage ruse” - a friend
6/ The outcome of this race will decide control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This race is a huge deal. #wipolitics jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
9/ “Gays For Trump' activist [Scott Presler] heading to Wisconsin to help Republicans in Supreme Court race” 2/8/23 journaltimes.com/news/local/gay…
10/ Scott Presler also “trains” far right activists.
11/ Scott Presler comes from Act for America which partners with John Guandolo, a very scary guy. rightwingwatch.org/post/whatever-…
12/ “The anti-Muslim hate group ACT for America is taking its message to college campuses.” The group’s “lead activism strategist” is “Scott Presler…” 10/9/18 splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…
13/ “In his spare time, Guandolo works closely with ACT! for America, the largest grassroots anti-Muslim group in the country” 8/10/15 splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015…
14/ More on ACT where Scott Presler worked as a lead activism strategist. pfhdigital.com/?_=%2Ffighting…
15/ Scott Presler.
16/ Scott Presler proponent Ed Martin is a “great friend” of Roger Stone. Martin was also a top “Stop the Steal” partner & organizer who tweeted “We are all Oath Keepers now,” & blew off @jan6committee’s subpoena. Martin is president of the Schlafly Eagles & a member of the CNP.
I did a big thread on Ed Martin here. 17/ threadreaderapp.com/thread/1639388…
Ed Martin leads the organization founded and named after the late Phyllis Schlafly, an anti-gay activist. 18/ towleroad.com/2016/09/anti-g…
19/ In her own words.
21/ John Guandolo was there too. And a bunch of other familiar names who would later promote “Stop the Steal.” Roger Stone presumably wld have been there but he was facing a criminal trial (which began in Nov 2019). So maybe his lawyers told him to stay low. Dunno.

22/ Seems it was held in October 2019. Maybe they didn’t invite Stone due to his pending trial. Again, I’m speculating though.
23/ Presler is a dangerous “do-er” for the anti-LGBTQ Christian Right.
24/ Presler “previously worked w/ & reported to the RNC … until the party suddenly cut ties in Aug 2016. According to 3 people familiar w/ the circumstances, Presler engaged in sexual activity inside a VA Beach office the RNC shared w/ the state party… talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/today-i…
… and [Presler] posted explicit photos of the encounter on Craigslist.”
Well then. I guess the RNC wasn’t paying Presler enough. Apparently the “Christian Right” has upped the ante. 25/
