ICYMI: Ohio AG Dave Yost Speaks at Extreme Right-Wing Summit Alongside Project 2025 Architect

October 8, 2024

Columbus, OH - In case you missed it, last week Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost spoke at the Center for Christian Virtue's Essential Summit, described as a "who's who of right wing figures" which featured Project 2025 architect Kevin Roberts among the speakers.

Roberts quite literally wrote the book on the extreme Project 2025 that Donald Trump and JD Vance will implement if elected. He said that climate change amounted to nothing more than a "hot year." His extreme Project 2025 agenda includes ending medicated abortion, allowing hospitals to deny life-saving care, punishing striking workers and eliminating overtime pay.

And Roberts isn't just an author with a controversial book. He's dangerous.

He hasn't pledged to accept the results of the election if Trump loses, instead promising a "second American Revolution" and said that it would only be bloodless "if the left allows it to be."

Instead of doing his job and defending justice for all Ohioans, Dave Yost is aligning himself with dangerous extremists who can't even commit to a peaceful transition of power," said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. "It's clear Yost will always put political posturing ahead of the interests of Ohioans."
