- Jason Rapert declares that "if political parties were mentioned in the Bible, Sodom & Gomorrah would be the headquarters of the Democrat Party."
- Shane Vaughn is unconcerned about the Christian pastor who announced that he and his wife have embraced polygamy because "polygamy is 10,000 times more natural than one man marrying another man."
- Mat Staver warns that Christians must "vote biblically" because the election will result in "consequences that we will live under, that people will die under."
- Rep. Brandon Gill claims that the election is a choice between a Democratic Party that has "become about as radical and extreme as you can get" and a Republican Party built on "basic decency and common sense people who deeply love this country."

Rep. Brandon Gill is a first-term MAGA member of Congress from Texas and the son-in-law of discredited election conspiracist Dinesh D’Souza. And he’s the beneficiary of a remarkable faux-intimate fundraising email from Vice President J.D. Vance.
“It feels like I typed & re-typed this note 100 times,” reads the subject line.
The email goes on to say that the message “is more personal and from the heart than most messages, because it's going to patriots that I feel I can trust as our movement’s closest confidants.”
There’s a lot more:
Every time I stand behind the resolute desk, or walk into a critical cabinet meeting to make a decision surrounded by the most dedicated and fearless men and women in our country, I feel the very weight of our country’s survival in my hands and the responsibility of what it represents — a thin, fragile line between the America we love and the America the radical left is determined to build in its place.
And when I sit alone with my thoughts and my prayers the question I ask myself constantly is “what more can I do?”
That’s when I decided I needed to write this message.
At the end of my life, I want to stand before God Almighty and be able to say with a clear conscience that I gave everything I had to protect the soul of this country.
And all that is just part of a plea to follow a link to read Vance’s “urgent briefing,” which opens with this:
My fellow Americans – this is JD Vance.
Today, I’m coming to you with all my cards on the table, not as “The Vice President.”
I’m coming to you simply as JD, the small-town Ohio hillbilly who loves God, cherishes his family, and somewhere along the way ended up being tasked with a critical mission at one of the most critical moments in American history.
The “briefing” repeats some of the email language about Vance sitting alone with his thoughts and prayers asking what more he can do, before going into now-standard Republican smears about Democrats and progressives:
This isn't about Republicans versus Democrats anymore. I need you to understand that what we are facing is something deeper and more dangerous than a partisan election fight.
We are watching the deliberate, systematic infiltration of American institutions by people who genuinely despise this country's history, who mock our values, who want to dismantle Western civilization itself and replace it with something unrecognizable.
A legion of radical socialist candidates is being recruited, funded, and deployed to take over Congress. And their movement is gaining horrifying momentum as we speak.
Gill is no stranger to that kind of inflammatory rhetoric. Last year, when he was urging the defunding of public broadcasting, he claimed that everyone who works at National Public Radio hates Christians, conservatives, and this country. You'd never know from reading this email that Vance and Gill were both on Fox a couple months ago urging Democrats to tone down their political rhetoric.
Vance goes on. He warns that people who hate Trump and Republicans are filling “Democrat war chests.” It is unintentionally hilarious to have Vance—whose career in public life was sponsored and funded by Peter Thiel—warning that “Big Tech billionaires” are backing Democrats. Still, the stakes he portrays are dire:
If we lose the House this November, there is nothing left to protect us from what these deranged leftists and their socialist agenda will do. The America you and I grew up in — the one we are fighting to hand to our children — will not survive what comes next.
I'll be completely and uncomfortably honest with you: I cannot fight this fight alone.
After more paragraphs praising donors’ commitment and patriotism, Vance finally gets to the point:
I'm teaming up with Congressman Brandon Gill — the youngest House Republican in America, a fighter who takes on the radical left every single day in the hearing rooms and on the House floor with a ferocity I deeply admire — and together we are assembling 10,000 of the most dedicated MAGA patriots in the GOP's top donor files to build the firewall this majority needs to survive November.
Vance signs off with, “For God and for the America we refuse to give up on.”
The fine print reveals that unless a donor directs otherwise, 90 percent of their contribution will go to Brandon Gill for Texas, and 10 percent to Trump National Committee. And the finer print reports that funds going to TNC are allocated 77.5 percent to Never Surrender (Donald Trump’s PAC), 17.5% to the Republican National Committee, and 5 percent to Working for Ohio, Vance’s leadership PAC.

Washington, D.C. — March 21, 2025
Yesterday, America First Legal (AFL) and U.S. Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) filed an amicus brief supporting President Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to combat the escalating threat posed by the violent Venezuelan criminal syndicate, Tren de Aragua (TdA).
The Alien Enemies Act grants the President unilateral authority to determine when the United States is facing an invasion, identify the foreign terrorists involved, and expel them. Courts have repeatedly upheld this presidential power, ruling that the President’s decision to invoke the act is not subject to judicial review. President Trump has rightly recognized that TdA has launched a full-scale invasion of the United States. He is taking the necessary steps to defend the American people and remove TdA from the country.
AFL’s brief supports President Trump’s position in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which seeks to block President Trump’s decisive action to protect American citizens. The ACLU wrongly claims that dangerous foreign invaders should be granted the same lengthy immigration procedures typically reserved for deportable aliens.
AFL’s brief supports President Trump’s invoking of the AEA to protect American citizens from dangerous foreign entities, arguing:
- The President has Absolute Authority: The AEA gives the President the absolute authority to determine when an invasion has occurred, and that decision is not subject to judicial review — meaning it cannot be challenged in court.
- The Violent Invasion by TdA has Venezuelan Government Ties: The actions described in the President’s proclamation clearly meet the definition of an invasion under the AEA. The proclamation highlights TdA’s violent activities and their ties to the Venezuelan government.
- The AEA Applies to Non-State Actors: Even if TdA were not tied to the Venezuelan government, the AEA would still apply because it allows the President to address invasions by non-state actors.
- Immigration Court Procedures Do Not Apply to the AEA: Under the AEA, the U.S. government is not obligated to put criminal TdA members through standard immigration court procedures before removing them from the country. Their dangerous actions require immediate expulsion, and the AEA allows the President to do this.
AFL has led the efforts to expose TdA’s growing presence and threat in the United States, which began when the Biden-Harris Administration allowed this foreign terrorist organization to gain a foothold and set up business here.
In November 2024, AFL released data and documents showing how the Biden-Harris Administration’s open-border policies turned cities like Chicago into struggling border towns. Later that same month, AFL further released a second tranche of Cook County Sheriff’s documents exposing the dangerous, expanding illegal alien crime web and the politicians protecting them. In February 2025, AFL released documents revealing that Colorado officials downplayed the threat posed by the violent Venezuelan gang TdA, shielding dangerous criminals and endangering American citizens.
AFL will continue to defend President Trump’s authority to remove this dangerous and deadly criminal syndicate from the United States to ensure the safety and protection of American citizens.
Statement from America First Legal Senior Counsel James Rogers:
“TdA is a dangerous invading force sent by the Government of Venezuela to harm our nation and undermine our society. Members of this violent gang clearly qualify as invading aliens under the Alien Enemies Act. This law was passed by Congress in 1798. Until now — for more than 226 years — courts have universally held that they do not have the power to interfere with the President’s authority as Commander in Chief to decide when to invoke the Act and expel aliens under its terms. What the ACLU is seeking in this case is unprecedented: that a single unelected judge take upon himself the authority to micromanage the national defense of our nation. This would be a complete corruption of the principle of separation of powers, which is a bedrock feature of our Republic enshrined in the Constitution. AFL is proud to join with Representative Gill to stand up for the rule of law and the protection of American citizens,” said James Rogers.
Statement from U.S. Representative Brandon Gill:
“It’s going to take more than a radical activist like Judge Boasberg to stop President Trump from carrying out the mandate of the American People. I am proud to join America First Legal in leading an amicus brief in support of the president’s efforts to deport these violent Venezuelan illegals that have terrorized our communities for years. His presidency has ushered in a new era of accountability, justice, and security for our nation,” said Rep. Gill.

Right-wing propagandist Dinesh D’Souza, recipient of a Trump pardon after his conviction for breaking campaign finance laws, is raising campaign cash for his son-in-law, first-term Rep. Brandon Gill.
Gill, a MAGA influencer who campaigned on a promise to be Trump’s biggest booster in Congress, won a crowded primary last year with help from Trump’s endorsement. It seems likely that Gill’s relationship with D’Souza, and his work on D’Souza’s discredited election-conspiracy movie “2000 Mules,” helped him get Trump’s blessing.
D’Souza’s email pitch for campaign contributions touts Gill’s role in promoting “2000 Mules,” even though the movie’s election-fraud claims have been thoroughly and repeatedly debunked—so thoroughly in fact that last year the right-wing Salem Media Group apologized for the movie’s promotion of false claims and announced it would stop distributing both the book and movie versions.
Last year, the right-wing group True the Vote, whose analysis was at the core of the movie’s claims, “told a Georgia judge that it doesn’t have evidence to support its claims of illegal ballot stuffing during the 2020 general election and a runoff two months later,” as AP reported.
In December, D’Souza himself “acknowledged that its findings were based on a faulty analysis,” the New York Times reported, even though D’Souza continued to claim without evidence that somehow “the underlying premise of the film holds true.”
“Brandon helped me EXPOSE the STOLEN 2020 election, working on my film ‘2000 Mules,’” D’Souza writes in his fundraising email. “While the fake news media refused to report the truth, we made sure millions of Americans knew what really happened.”
D’Souza refers to Gill as a “conservative warrior” who is waging “war” against “the forces that seek to reduce America to TYRANNY!” – by which he seems to mean the mainstream media and federal judges who rule against Trump’s lawbreaking.
Gill’s approach to political discourse is every bit as thoughtful and nuanced as one of D’Souza’s propaganda flicks. Earlier this year, he told supporters that “the entire staff” of National Public Radio “hate you,” adding, “They hate Christians. They hate conservatives. They hate this country.”

Representative Ilhan Omar’s Republican colleagues are once again calling for her to be deported because they don’t understand U.S. law.
Representative Brandon Gill posted on X Tuesday in response to a post falsely claiming Omar was “hosting workshops” with Somali immigrants about their legal rights in the face of Donald Trump’s sweeping deportation orders.
“America would be a better place if @IlhanMN were deported back to Somalia,” Gill wrote, directing racist vitriol at a fellow member of Congress and a U.S. citizen.
Omar came under intense scrutiny after a whiny Elon Musk shared a link to a fake video that supposedly showed her “conducting seminars” with Somali immigrants on how to “evade” deportation. Musk claimed that she was “breaking the law. Literally. Outright.”
In the video, a clip of Omar explaining in Somali about Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination—a legal right that undocumented immigrants are free to exercise when encountering ICE agents—was spliced together with footage of unidentified people apparently of East African descent sitting in a room.
“She’s a major grifter and she hates America,” Musk wrote in a separate post on X.
Omar was quick to hit back at Musk Tuesday. “Well it just shows you how much he lacks an understanding of what our, of what the laws of this country are,” Omar said during an interview on CNN.
It appears that Gill has joined Musk in his weak understanding of American law—if that wasn’t obvious enough from his call to deport a U.S. citizen.
She clarified that the footage of her had been taken out of context from an interview with a journalist, who asked what her advice would be to undocumented Somalis, and that she hadn’t held a meeting like the one described.
Musk’s attacks against Omar come as she has been outspoken against his unlawful efforts to dismantle USAID.
...//
Elon Musk is sending his digital minions after Representative Ilhan Omar, all based on a fake video posted by the pitiable right-wing shill Ian Miles Cheong.
On Tuesday, Cheong posted an obviously edited video in which he claimed the progressive congresswoman was “conducting seminars for Somalians who are living illegally in the U.S. without documentation, providing guidance on how to evade deportation.”
The video shows a random room full of unidentified people of seemingly East African descent, then cuts to Omar being interviewed in a completely different room.
The richest man in the world shared the video, clutching at his pearls. “She is breaking the law. Literally. Outright,” he wrote on X of Omar allegedly telling immigrants that they were not required to answer questions if detained by ICE. And that didn’t even happen.
Hundreds of Musk’s fans began flocking to Omar’s page, so much so that she had to clear the air herself.
“Hey Elon, every single person in this country deserves to know their rights. That’s legal. Maybe you should brush up on our laws given the fact you’re breaking them to steal American’s sensitive data,” Omar wrote, in reference to Musk’s aggressive takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. “PS. This video is manipulated, and I wasn’t even at the event shown.”
It’s ironic that a man who spends all day moaning about left-wing misinformation and suppression is using his massive platform to spread his own. And he’s just getting started.

Rep. Brandon Gill is more than willing to be bipartisan, provided that it is the Democrats who "cross the aisle and help us execute our agenda."
JENNA ELLIS SHOW
an 1 25
The GOP's youngest member in the House of Representatives was sworn in last week, and as the founder of the right-wing news blog, DC Enquirer, 30-year-old Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) is dedicated to carrying out President-elect Donald Trump's vision over the next four years.
Jared Holt — a journalist and researcher on hate and extremist movements in the U.S. — in an op-ed published by MSNBC on Tuesday submits that "Gill’s success in politics is a harbinger for the next generation of Republican politicians ready to replace current GOP members as they vacate their positions: flush with powerful backers, savvy to social media and eager to deliver on the internet-poisoned daydreams of today’s conservative movement."
As a Trump loyalist, Holts notes that Gill's "campaign appeared to take nearly all of its cues from Trump," as the MAGA news site creator "has shared anti-immigrant talking points, derided 'diversity hires,' echoed far-right memes, shared nonsense about immigrants eating pets and pressed for mass deportations."

Furthermore, Holt writes:
Lauding Daniel Penny, who was acquitted after he killed Jordan Neely on a New York City subway train, Gill said at a New York Young Republicans Club event in December: 'I think we need a lot more Daniel Pennys in this country, because there are far too many Jordan Neelys.' On X, Gill also praised Penny’s acquittal and remarked, 'It’s still not illegal to be white.'*
Although last year the 118th Congress was deemed one of the most unproductive in US history, the newest Republican member of Congress, according to Holt, said last month he has "no interest in bipartisanship".

AN 12 24
Some defenders of President-elect Donald Trump and the MAGA movement argue that when MAGA Republicans say threatening, ominous things online, they are simply blowing off steam. More than once, Vice-President-elect JD Vance has accused Trump's critics of blowing his comments way out of proportion and failing to realize that some of his in-your-face comments are simply meant to be humorous.
But The Atlantic's Ali Breland, in an article published on December 18, stresses that when MAGA Republicans say disturbing things, they need to be taken seriously.
Breland recently attended a New York Young Republicans Club gathering, where the MAGA attendees included "War Room" host Steve Bannon (the keynote speaker), Proud Boys co-founder Gavin McInnes, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida), and Rep.-elect Brandon Gill (R-Texas). And one of the big takeaways, according to Breland, is that MAGA Republicans are even more disturbing in person than they are online.
READ MORE:If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest person in the world will be largely to blame
McInnes, at the event, angrily told Breland, "You should slit your wrists."
"Trump and his supporters haven't exactly been quiet about their fantasies and promises," Breland explains. "Trump talked about mass deportations all throughout the campaign, and has doubled down since his victory. But there is a meaningful difference between being aware of the rhetoric and truly experiencing its full force."
Breland continues, "As a reporter who covers the far-right internet, I've seen countless posts from people like Gill and Bannon talking about deporting as many immigrants as possible or incarcerating Democrats and the press. But to hear these men fervently say it and watch a crowd of more than 1000 erupt into cheers and laughter in response added a new dimension."
The Atlantic staffer emphasizes that what he saw at the New York Young Republicans Club went way beyond ordinary conservative trolling.

"They don't just want policies," Breland warns, "and they're not just s---posting to provoke people online. They want their enemies to suffer, and they want to relish in their pain."
Breland notes that "revenge" was a recurring theme at the event.
Bannon told the crowd that Democrats and the mainstream media "need to learn what populist nationalist power is on the receiving end," adding, "We want retribution."
According to Breland, "The theme of the evening was revenge: During the forthcoming Trump Administration, various speakers said, there would be hell to pay. Enemies of the state would be arrested and put in jail, or deported. The intensity of McInnes' disdain for the media was an outlier, but only barely."

The number of 'DC Enquirer' Facebook engagements over 10 days, vs. 1.5 million for 'The Washington Post.'
Popular Information
Andrew Paul
Feb. 24, 2022
Facebook is losing the battle against misinformation, right-wing political spamming, and algorithmic manipulation according to a — sadly unsurprising — deep dive from Popular.info that centers on the many loophole exploitations of a pro-MAGA website, DC Examiner. If that name doesn’t ring a bell for you, then you are most certainly not alone: The site, run by a Trump operative named Brandon Gill, only first came into existence on January 8, with its inaugural article just published on January 19.
And yet, despite its nascency, DC Examiner somehow managed to garner nearly 2.2 million page engagements on Facebook over the past 10 days — roughly 700,000 more than The Washington Post during that same time period. Once again, this kind of ultra-rightwing propaganda has been allowed to spread profusely thanks to simple exploitations of Facebook’s platform, and it doesn’t look like it’s showing any signs of slowing down, either.
A MULTI-PRONGED ATTACK — As Popular.info explains, both Gill and his wife, Danielle D’Souza-Gill (yes, daughter of that D’Souza), actively post to DC Examiner, but their key to success is the massive network of other Facebook pages to amplify their work. Groups like “America First,” “Keep Texas Red,” and “Conservative Americans” all operate essentially as shell pages that almost instantly repost DC Examiner’s content. Often these posts are nearly identical to one another, but that doesn’t really matter. Each of these separate pages still garner tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of hits, thus allowing Gill and his wife to net that much more traffic.
SUPPOSEDLY AGAINST THE RULES — Of course, this kind of coordinated spamming is allegedly a big no-no, according to Facebook policy. Clearly, however, the company isn’t doing nearly enough to monitor this kind of malicious activity, a failing that’s even more glaring when a clear example can be found in a site that is eclipsing publications like The Washington Post barely a month after debuting.

He pushed against a proposed Facebook project that was intended to make Facebook users of different political views engage with each other in less hostile ways. Kaplan argued that this feature would lead conservatives to accuse Facebook of bias. Kaplan also reportedly advocated on behalf of Breitbart News and the Daily Caller within Facebook.
