Round-up

  • Rep. Michael Cloud reportedly hosted a "conference for pastors and ministry leaders" in Texas earlier this week.
  • North Dakota state Rep. Brandon Pritchard declares that he has no qualms about being labeled a book-burner: "Let me be the first person to light the match!"
  • The Family Research Council has named anti-transgender activist Walt Heyer as a senior fellow.
  • After lying about the Declaration of Independence, Tim Barton had the gall to declare that "the only way you can overcome a lie is by knowing the truth, and most of us don't know what the truth is and so we don't always even know we're being lied to."
  • Finally, Sen. Josh Hawley says that President Joe Biden is "totally wrong about America's soul" because he doesn't understand that "this nation was founded on the principles of the Bible."
Every day, Right Wing Watch exposes extremism to help the public, activists, and journalists understand the strategies and tactics of anti-democratic forces—and respond to an increasingly aggressive and authoritarian far-right movement. The threat is growing, but our resources are not. Any size contribution will help us continue our work and become more effective at disrupting the ideologies, people, and organizations that threaten our freedom and democracy. Please make an investment in Right Wing Watch’s defense of the values we share.
On the Watchlist
Tim and David Barton

Tim Barton

The son of Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton, Tim Barton has followed in his father’s footsteps, taking over as president of the WallBuilders organization, serving as co-host of the daily “WallBuilders Live” radio program, and traveling the nation delivering presentations filled with Christian nationalist disinformation.
