  • Even Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton acknowledges that the Civil War was about slavery: "We've had a lot of people say ... it was about states' rights. Well, maybe. But the state right they contended for the most was [slavery]."
  • Um, we're pretty sure that this photo posted by Ann Vandersteel allegedly showing former President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice, and others holding a meeting with Osama bin Laden is fake.
  • Jon Miller continues to display his unironic admiration for Nazis.
  • Lauren Witzke declares that Nikki Haley is an "Anti-White cretin."
  • Finally, we're starting to worry that we might not be able to trust Charlie Shamp's prophecies.
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.

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.
