Today: Trump to Keynote Moms for Liberty Conference as SPLC-Designated Extremist Group Keeps Losing Elections

WASHINGTON - Today, Donald Trump will keynote the "Joyful Warriors" summit for Moms for Liberty, a scandal plagued, Southern Poverty Law Center designated "extremist " group that made its name pushing for students to be taught anti-LGBTQ+, racist, and white nationalist views in the classroom. Their leadership and membership have long sought to bully LGBTQ+ children and their families, whether through advocacy for anti-LGBTQ+ legislation at the state level or the promotion of book bans that are deeply unpopular with parents of all political stripes. The group also has deep ties to white nationalist groups like the Proud Boys and the chief authors of Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation. In short, Donald Trump makes perfect sense as their keynote.

Much like the former president, Moms for Liberty's political agenda is also falling flat with voters across the country. Just last week in Florida school board elections, Moms for Liberty endorsed candidates suffered embarrassing losses, in the latest failed election night for the organization. According to Brookings, fewer than one-third of school board candidates backed by Moms for Liberty in 2023 won their elections, including high profile losses in red to purple states like Iowa, Pennsylvania, Kansas, and Ohio.
