The Values Voter Summit is an annual political conference bringing together some of the most extreme groups on the right, including multiple designated hate groups. It was founded in 2006 and is hosted by the Family Research Council. The Family Research Council (FRC) is an organization that relentlessly vilifies LGBT people - portraying them as sick, vile, incestuous, violent, perverted, and a danger to children and the nation. The organization and its president, Tony Perkins, work to push the LGBT community into the closet if not into jail. The FRC makes false and intentionally dehumanizing claims about the LGBT community based on discredited research and junk science. https://www.splcenter.org/we-cannot-accept-bigotry-values-voter-summit
Превратившись в партию Трампа, республиканская партия пошла войной на SPLC.
This past weekend, the Republican National Committee caved to white supremacist and other hate groups by adopting a resolution titled Refuting the Legitimacy of the Southern Poverty Law Center to Identify Hate Groups. The focus of the resolution is that “the SPLC is a radical organization” that harms conservative organizations and voices through our hate group designations. This attack on our work is an attempt to excuse the Trump administration’s pattern and practice of working with individuals and organizations that malign entire groups of people - immigrants, Muslims and the LGBTQ community - while promoting policies that undermine their very existence. It comes from the same vein as Trump’s claim that there were “very fine people” on both sides of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Simply put, it’s an audacious attempt by Trump and the GOP to paper over the bigotry and racism that has been allowed to infect their policies. This resolution comes at a moment when Trump will argue at the Republican National Convention that he will combat hate and bigotry, despite welcoming the support of QAnon. It also comes days after the indictment of Stephen Bannon, reminding us that Bannon was once the White House chief strategist and senior counselor and CEO of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. And it comes just after our special investigation shined a light on One America News Network’s Jack Posobiec, a reporter at Trump’s favorite network who is aligned with white supremacy and has used his platform to further hate speech and propaganda. Trump should sever these ties to hate groups and extremists instead of doubling down through this RNC resolution. The Trump administration has filled its ranks and consulted with alumni and allies from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an anti-immigrant hate group that has ties to white supremacist groups and eugenicists. They include Julie Kirchner, Kris Kobach, Jeff Sessions and, most notably, Stephen Miller. The Trump administration has worked with hate groups like the Family Research Council (FRC) to roll back LGBTQ rights. FRC was designated an anti-LGBTQ hate group for decades of demonizing LGBTQ people and spreading harmful pseudoscience about them. Over the years, the organization has published books, reports and brochures that have linked being LGBTQ to pedophilia, claimed that LGBTQ people are dangerous to children and claimed that LGBTQ people are promiscuous and violent. Anti-Muslim groups have also been welcomed into the administration, including the Center for Security Policy (CSP). Fred Fleitz, a longtime staffer, was appointed the executive secretary and chief of staff of the National Security Council. For decades, CSP has peddled absurd accusations that shadowy Muslim Brotherhood operatives have infiltrated all levels of government. These extremists are seeking a license to continue spreading their bigotry and will do anything to undermine those - like the SPLC, which tracks and monitors hate groups - who expose their extremist views and oppose their attacks on communities. With this resolution, Trump and members of the GOP have shown the extent to which they will carry their water. https://www.splcenter.org/news/2020/08/24/rnc-caves-hate-groups-attack-against-splc
Trump Jr. and Posobiec are pictured together at a “Wall-a-Thon” event in support of We Build the Wall on July 30, 2019, in Sunland Park, New Mexico, in an image that was published to the Instagram page of someone who appears to have attended it. Trump Jr. spoke at the event along with a cluster of far-right figures such as Mike Cernovich, a male supremacist who has hosted gatherings with white nationalists, Michelle Malkin, who writes for the white nationalist website VDARE, and Darren Beattie, a former Trump speechwriter who lost his job after CNN reported on his ties to white nationalists in August 2018. (Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida, who is also speaking at the RNC on Monday, hired Beattie as a speechwriter less than a year later.) Jack Posobiec (center, with blue tie) attends a Trump rally on Dec. 10, 2019, alongside Raheem Kassam (left, with red hat), co-host of Steve Bannon's "War Room: Pandemic." Posobiec is linked to both Bannon and We Build the Wall. In April 2017, Posobiec helped lead an event in Bannon’s name outside the White House, which featured white nationalists and neo-Nazis, as Hatewatch previously reported. He later became a regular guest on Bannon’s podcast, “War Room: Pandemic.” A Polish man named Wojciech Pawelczyk, with whom Posobiec met during a far-right march in Warsaw, Poland, that included neo-Nazi groups, claims to help operate the social media accounts of both men, as Hatewatch also previously reported. Posobiec helped Bannon hype up his We Build the Wall project on a livestream as recently as June 11. <...> Posobiec sent the July 13, 2017, messages to McHugh calling Trump Jr. “redpilled” at a time when she was working for the now-defunct junk news website GotNews. Far-right extremist Chuck Johnson, a Holocaust denier who has raised money for neo-Nazis, published GotNews before it shuttered in 2018 and eventually filed for bankruptcy in 2019. Posobiec sent the texts at 10:48 p.m. EDT, according to the time stamp. McHugh recalled to Hatewatch that their conversation that night referred to the president’s son retweeting Posobiec’s promotion of a GotNews story about him: McHugh: Fantastic!!!

Trump Jr. and Posobiec go back to at least 2017, pre-OANN.
In 2017, Posobiec was:
-antisemitism
-“rape Melania”
-accused of plagiarism by Jason Kessler
-defending Identity Evropa
-demonstrating with neo-Nazis
That’s the man who called him “redpilled”:https://t.co/dG9eypO9w0
