  • Capitol Insurrection at Center of Conservative Movement
    Capitol Insurrection At Center Of Conservative Movement: At Least 43 Governors, Senators And Members Of Congress Have Ties To Groups That Planned January 6th Rally And Riots. SUMMARY: On January 6, 2021, a rally in support of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election “turned deadly” when thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol at Donald Trump’s urging. Even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who rarely broke with Trump, has explicitly said, “the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” These “other powerful people” include a vast array of conservative officials and Trump allies who perpetuated false claims of fraud in the 2020 election after enjoying critical support from the groups that fueled the Capitol riot. In fact, at least 43 current Governors or elected federal office holders have direct ties to the groups that helped plan the January 6th rally, along with at least 15 members of Donald Trump’s former administration. The links that these Trump-allied officials have to these groups are: Turning Point Action, an arm of right-wing Turning Point USA, claimed to send “80+ buses full of patriots” to the rally that led to the Capitol riot, claiming the event would be one of the most “consequential” in U.S. history. • The group spent over $1.5 million supporting Trump and his Georgia senate allies who claimed the election was fraudulent and supported efforts to overturn it. • The organization hosted Trump at an event where he claimed Democrats were trying to “rig the election,” which he said would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.” • At a Turning Point USA event, Rep.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks at the Turning Point U.S.A. Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida December 21, 2019 The President. Well, thank you very much. Thank you, everybody. What a group. What a group. What a group. I also want to thank a true American legend and a beloved national hero, Rush Limbaugh. Thank you, Rush. You know, I don't know if you know it or not: He's got like 39 million people listening. He's been—from day one, he's been so incredible. Good times, bad times, he doesn't waver, because he's tough as hell. He makes like—they tell me he makes like $50 million a year. And it may be—that may be on the low side. So if anybody wants to be a nice conservative talk show host, it's not a bad living. I will say. But I have to say, he's a very unique guy, and he's a great man, and he's been a great friend. So thank you to Rush. Thank you. And let me begin by wishing you a beautiful—look, do you remember this? Do you remember they were trying to take "Christmas" out of Christmas? Do you remember? Audience members. Boo! The President. They didn't want to let you say "Merry Christmas." You would go around, you'd see department stores that have everything—red, snow, beautiful ribbons, bows. Everything was there, but they wouldn't say "Merry Christmas." They're all saying "Merry Christmas" again.

Myers, Maia Ferdman, and Ann Major March 2021 This report is a follow-up to the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy report from November 2019 All is Not Well in the Golden State: The Scourge of White Nationalism in Southern California Preface In June 2020, the Luskin Center for History and Policy released a report “All is Not Well in the Golden State: The Scourge of White Nationalism in Southern California.” Produced by a team of undergraduate researchers from UCLA, the report provided extensive background to and mapping of the rise of extreme white nationalist activity in the region and state. Since the release of that report, there has been a marked uptick in white nationalist activity in the national sphere. The tumultuous final month of the Trump presidency, especially prompted by the false claim of a stolen election and culminating in the January 6 Capitol assault, pushed from the margins to the center of public attention a loose coalition of far-right actors, often motivated by conspiracy theories such as QAnon, some of whom are intent on violent insurrection. The highly polarized political climate—and even extremist expressions—have now made their way to college campuses in the United States, including to UCLA.

Fox News didn’t miss a beat after longtime boss Roger Ailes resigned last summer following a sexual harassment scan- dal. Now everyone is waiting anxiously to see if the network can continue to dominate in the ratings after losing its star. 21st Century Fox kept its comments about longtime host Bill O’Reilly brief: “After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the company and Bill O’Reilly have agreed that Bill O’Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel.” O’Reilly has been on vacation from his show since last Wednesday. The NY Times reported on April 1 that about $13mln has been paid out over the years to address complaints from women about the host’s behavior. O’Reilly has said the claims have no merit. Following Wednesday’s news, he issued a statement saying it is “tremendously disheartening” that he’s parting ways with Fox News due to “completely unfounded claims.” He ended saying he wishes only the best for the channel, which he’s been a part of for more than 20 years. His show, “The O’Reilly Factor,” consistently rates among the top programs in ad-supported cable, even as advertisers have pulled out. When it comes to cable TV, only NBA play- off games on TNT rated higher than the two eps he hosted last week (guests hosts have anchored the program since Wednesday).
