Documents show the Conservative Partnership Institute is pushing its far-right agenda at events involving GOP members
A powerful, rightwing lobbying group is promoting a hard-right policy agenda and cementing ties between the Republican party and the far right at at least 21 events involving senators, members of Congress, and both junior and senior political aides, documents obtained by the Guardian show.
The documents offer previously unreported details of Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) trainings and “bootcamps” for congressional staff at CPI’s sprawling Maryland ranch, and lavish, star-studded retreats for members of Congress – mostly members of the far-right Freedom caucus – at a string of Florida resorts.
They also show how CPI, widely described as the “nerve center of the Maga movement”, enlisted its own network of affiliated organizations along with like-minded far-right organizations – some classified as hate groups by experts – as well as individual extremists to promote anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-vaccine policies, along with others premised on the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.
"Star-studded" - both Rob Schneider and Kid Rock?
Remember Clint Eastwood? Well we don't have him, but we do have that chair he yelled at during the RNC.
One Democrat: maybe we shouldn't have homeless people or people dying from lack of health coverage.
Right wingers: COMMUNISM!!!! ALL DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNIST FAR LEFT ANTIFA!!!
Entire GOP: We're Nazis now.
Right wingers: teehee. We're the good guys.
They didn’t say they’re Nazis, but the campaign has retweeted the black sun in a video last cycle, there was the recent retweet about a unified reich, they did have ‘we are all domestic terrorists’ as a banner at the RNC, and used the shape of a Nazi pin at another event iirc.
Can’t find the pic of the stage right now
Who wants to remake the government in Christian terms? Where are these pious people?How do their demands line up with Christianity?. A minority of the population empowered by gerrymandering does not get to dictate deeply unpopular policy that will be adopted in a country of 300 million.
I understand there are Christians out there, never have I heard them say they didn’t feel represented. I’ve never seen any pious ones either. Just who is frothing at the mouth ready to “take over”? Otherwise it’s a coup by the 1%
Can someone smarter than me explain why the outside, and not the inside, of the cap is reflected in the table? Or am I just dumb and its been photoshopped
Light is funny, reflections are weird.
the camera angle makes it reflect in this way, looks like a legit photo to me
If you look close, it is two hats sitting on top of each other like at the store. They both have the cap part folded forward into itself so they can be stacked.
Edit: thanks for the downvote but it is exactly what is happening in the picture. It is literally 2 fucking hats.
