It’s been a weird year.
At Right Wing Watch, we’re used to bizarre conspiracy theories, extremist ideologies, wild misinformation, and the strange twisting of scripture to support political aims. But this year, we saw those things coming not just from the fringes of the Right, but from the White House itself. This was the year that the extreme Right fully embraced President Trump, and President Trump embraced it back.
This year, we published in-depth reports on the Right’s love of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the “prophetic” Religious Right leaders forming a “POTUS Shield” around Trump, how alt-right white supremacists are using YouTube to get famous, and the extremist record of failed Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore.
We also watched day by day as the alt-right fractured in post-election infighting and the Religious Right all but moved into the White House.
