It’s rare for a congressional aide to have her own mini-profile on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website outlining her ties to extremist groups.


But such is the case for Connie Hair, chief of staff to Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-TX) and one of the participants at what the New York Times reported was a tense White House meeting last week between President Trump and far-right activists concerned about the threat posed by transgender people and women serving in the military.

The Times article focused on how the unusual Roosevelt Room summit was organized by Ginni Thomas, the longtime conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. But the other attendees mentioned by the Times are worthy of note as well.

Beyond Hair, the group reportedly included veteran anti-Islam champion Frank Gaffney and Rosemary Jenks of the anti-immigrant group NumbersUSA. Crystal Clanton, who was hired as an assistant by Ginni Thomas after being booted from conservative youth group Turning Point USA for a text message saying she hated black people, was reportedly on the list of names that Thomas asked to have attend. Whether Clanton ended up actually joining the meeting is unclear.

If the left offered the cash flow and retirement plans that the right wing offers, every one of these phonies would defect and have a 'change of heart' They are soldiers of fortune.

6. After what I have seen of Gohmert on TV I'd be so embarrassed to work for him

If I saw Connie Hair his chief of staff in public I would love to get up in her face and ask what is it like working for such an ignorant jerk off? How does it feel working for the dumbest rep in congress? How do you go out in public, its got to be so mortifying to show your face in public representing that dumbass cockroach.
