What would discredit the right wing more efficiently? Actually "shadowbanning" them as they think we are doing OR promoting Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Franklin Graham, Jim Bakker, Michael Flynn and his son, and others like them as the face and top thinkers of the right wing?
What do you all think?

"Bizarre" is an appropriate word for this meeting, all right. Spoiler: Soros wasn't there.
Heres Who Else Was At That Bizarre WH Meeting With Trump And Ginni Thomas
Its rare for a congressional aide to have her own mini-profile on the Southern Poverty Law Centers website outlining her ties to extremist groups.

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.
