Curt Schilling, the former Major League Baseball pitcher fired from his sports commentary job after posting bigoted memes on Facebook, told Breitbart News radio listeners that the real “radical Islamic extremists” are Muslims who do not actively murder in the name of their faith.

Schilling, who hosts “Whatever It Takes” on Breitbart News Radio, was defending the sanctity of Columbus Day with Media Research Center’s Matt Philbin this morning when he argued that every country is founded on conquest, whether liberals like it or not. Philbin and Schilling cited the spread of Islam to further their argument.

“Every single square foot of the world that is under Islamic rule was taken by military conquest,” Schilling said. “No exceptions. And that is the doctrine that the prophet Mohammed preached, as well.”

Schilling went on to say that he has read the Quran three times and spent the last read-through highlighting any passage that expressed what Schilling considered “extremism.”

“Nowadays, the radical Islamic extremist is the person that isn’t killing in the name of their god, because the book is very clear. The mandate is a world full of people following Allah or nobody,” Schilling said.

After reporters at The Washington Post unmasked yet another botched undercover sting operation headed by James O’Keefe’s organization Project Veritas, right-wing pundits put their eagerness to undermine mainstream media outlets above all else and took to providing cover for O’Keefe and his organization.

Yesterday, the Washington Post revealed that a Project Veritas operative had attempted to dupe reporters with a false story claiming that Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore impregnated her as a teenager. After reporters found inconsistencies in the operative’s stories and spotted her entering the Project Veritas headquarters, they connected the false account to O’Keefe. O’Keefe’s prior faceplants include being exposed attempting to lure a CNN reporter onto a boat full of dildos to then record the reporter and humiliate her, sabotaging his own attempt to dupe the Open Society Foundations and failing to entrap Hillary Clinton supporters into doing anything more scandalous than selling campaign merch to a Canadian.

But that didn’t stop the most ardent anti-mainstream media pundits from defending O’Keefe’s operation.

Jack Posobiec, a pro-Trump sycophant with his own history of botched smear campaigns, rushed to Project Veritas’ defense by wondering whether the Washington Post was “supplied with a list of the original accusers” of Moore and questioning why the paper was supposedly “quiet about” right-wing claims that attorney Gloria Allred helped women fabricate claims that Moore made sexual advances on them as teenagers:

Mike Cernovich, a right-wing blogger who notably pushed the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory and also frequently attempts to undermine establishment media outlets, claimed the story proved a “win-win” for both the Washington Post and Project Veritas:

Laura Loomer, a far-right activist who once worked for Project Veritas, lashed out at The Hill reporter Will Sommer for posting a thread detailing O’Keefe’s past flops as a self-described investigative reporter. Loomer described O’Keefe as “an American Hero” and called Sommer a “Soy Boy,” a nod to a bizarre alt-right meme based in the fictitious idea that consuming soy products will somehow “feminize” men:

Right Wing News’ John Hawkins congratulated Project Veritas and urged the organization to “keep on doing what they’re doing”:

Infowars writer Kelen McBreen claimed that Project Veritas exposed “anti-Trump bias at the Washington Post”:

Breitbart News editor-at-large Joel B. Pollak went so far as to claim that Project Veritas and The Washington Post had “busted” each other:

But perhaps the most ridiculous spin came from Project Veritas’ official Twitter account, which speculated that Twitter may “fix,” or remove their organization from, the trending bar after it releases its smear videos on the Washington Post:

Dr. Gina Loudon, a former Breitbart writer and right-wing pundit, claimed that the matter of whether Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore is guilty or innocent of making sexual advances on teenage girls as young as 14 years old while he was in his 30s “is really not even at issue” for Alabama voters.

Loudon appeared with Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on “Breitbart News Daily” this morning to discuss Moore’s press conference yesterday, which Marlow described as “strange.” Loudon assured Marlow that Alabama voters were too independent to be swayed by allegations that he sexually pursued teenage girls and that “many of these so-called stories or rumors have been out there for a long time.”

“The innocence or guilt of Roy Moore is really not even at issue here because the people of Alabama made a decision, based on the evidence they had, who they wanted to vote for,” Loudon said. “At this point, what is relevant is only the decision that is in the hands of Alabamians right now.”

Loudon went on to claim that her time as an evening drive-time radio host in Alabama led her to believe that Alabama voters are “fiercely independent” and “will not let someone come impose their allegations on an election in order to overturn it.”

Rep. Steve King of Iowa responded today to the not guilty verdict in the Kate Steinle murder trial by accusing several of his black and Latino House colleagues of having “deified criminal illegal aliens” and fostered “an anti-white, anti-Western civilization culture.”

King spoke this morning with Curt Schilling, the host of the Breitbart radio program “Whatever It Takes” about the acquittal of an undocumented Mexican immigrant in the 2015 murder of Steinle, which became a touchstone for the anti-immigration movement.

Schilling insisted, “If the shooting happened in reverse, if it was a white, male legal citizen, he’d be in jail. I don’t question that for a second.” He then linked the verdict to the NFL “killing itself over statistics that are actually not true” and told King, “Liberals have gotten to a point that if you and I are for a border wall, we’re racist, and I’m not sure how the hell they managed to do that.”

“Well, I’ve watched it unfold,” King responded. “Sitting on the Judiciary Committee and the immigration and Constitution subcommittees now for 15 years, I’ve watched them maneuver themselves and posture. Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Bobby Scott, Luis Gutierrez, John Conyers, all those people I’ve sat with for 15 years and watched as they maneuver, I’ve watched them manufacture arguments about topics they knew nothing about until they settled on the position they thought was going to suit them politically.”

“And they have now deified criminal illegal aliens and there’s a pejoraty [sic] against white people in America. It’s an anti-white, anti-Western civilization culture that they are fostering,” he said.

King went on to lament that “Bill Clinton sliced and diced people with identity politics,” including by aiming to build a Cabinet that “looks like America.” He said that “Hillary studied under that” and “Barack Obama was the master of identity politics,” but Americans “had enough” of it so they elected Trump.

“I don’t want to see Americans pitted against each other,” King added, “I don’t want to see it based on race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, prosperity, religion or any other point. I want an America where we all have the same rights and we’re all subject to the same laws and we don’t look at each other and put it through the first filter of ‘which victims’ group are you a member of and now I have to walk around you because you have special rights.’”

King has previously attacked the Congressional Black Caucus for “self-segregating” and hijacking the message of Martin Luther King Jr.

Breitbart Rome bureau chief Tom Williams appeared on Breitbart’s daily radio program today to celebrate that more Americans have been openly expressing their faith and saying “Merry Christmas,” thanks to what he dubbed “the Trump effect.”

This morning on “Breitbart News Daily,” host Alex Marlow spoke with Williams about international issues and the White House tree lighting ceremony. Marlow asked Williams if there was “more for the president to be doing” to promote Christmas, to which Williams responded that he hopes the Trump administration continues the work it’s doing because “people were really fed up with the war on Christmas that we’ve seen over the last few years and really during the entire Obama years.”

“Part of the swing toward populism, toward nationalism, is also a swing toward religion and a recovery of some sort of Christian identity, the importance of faith. And I think that we’re seeing more public expressions of that,” Williams continued. “There are the new tallies on Christmas card sales and things, and ‘Merry Christmas’ is blowing away ‘Happy Holidays’—you know, these kind of whitewashed greetings from past years are looking more and more like a thing of the past.”

“So what I’m seeing, and I’m very delighted with, is people are more overtly expressive of their own faith and religiosity, and that’s part of the Trump effect,” Williams said.

Marlow said he agreed and thought there has been a “substantial war on Christmas.” He also alluded to a newfound “war on Thanksgiving” taking place in which liberals want to “ruin Thanksgiving for us.” He expanded that he thought it was interesting that liberals want to destroy holidays that feature religious components.

Williams said the wars on Christmas and Thanksgiving are “a real globalist push from certain Americans on the left.”

John Nolte, a columnist at Breitbart News, told Breitbart radio listeners that even if allegations that Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore pursued young girls—one as young as 14 years old—in his 30s are true, that it was “not a violation of social norms.”

This morning on “Breitbart News Daily,” Nolte told host Alex Marlow that upon examining the stories of the women who have alleged that Moore pursued them when they were teenagers, he believed “Roy Moore gets the benefit of the doubt.” He went on to criticize media outlets and Democrats who have expressed shock and outrage over the allegations.

“It’s also that the media and the Democrats are piling on with allegations about Roy Moore wanting to date teenagers—it’s not illegal and at the time it wasn’t even a violation of social norms because unless you’re an urban elite provincial who doesn’t understand that there are different societies within America, 40 years ago it was not unheard of for a 30-year-old man to look for a much younger wife. And if he was trying to date a 16- or 17-year-old, I’m uncomfortable with that—I’ll admit that—but it’s not illegal. It’s not a violation of social norms,” Nolte said.

Nolte said he didn’t think it was fair that media and liberals were “sentencing him to historic infamy when benefit of the doubt should go to him.”

Marlow said he agreed and that it was important to give Moore the benefit of the doubt because of “what’s at stake here politically, should we lose another Senate vote.” Of six accusations made about Moore’s past behavior, Marlow claimed five to be debunked and said that the one accusation he could not write off was “just not enough after 40 years of being in public life for that to be a reason to end a guy’s career.”

In an article published in Breitbart last week, Nolte expressed a similar sentiment and wrote:

[T]o be lectured to by Democrats and media elites on this issue is beyond laughable. This legion of sick freaks feigning moral horror over a 30-year-old man legally dating a 16 year-old girl is the height of partisanship.

Never forget that these are the same people who are okay with seven-year-olds choosing and changing their gender; kindergartners losing their innocence by way of lessons about homosexuality; instructions in Teen Vogue about anal sex; and 12-year-old girls being exposed to a penis owned by a mentally ill man in a dress.Well, sorry to disappoint my media betters, but I am an American, and as an American — whether it is left-wing gay activist Bryan Singer or Roy Moore — the benefit of all this reasonable doubt goes to the accused.

Fox News personality and radio host Sean Hannity told former White House strategist and Breitbart executive Steve Bannon that he thought that both of them “may end up in jail” for defending President Trump against a supposed “deep state” impeachment effort.

Last night Bannon hosted a special edition of “Breitbart News Tonight.” Hannity joined Bannon and Fox News political analyst Pat Goodell to discuss, among other things, the federal investigation into suspected Russian ties to Trump campaign officials during the 2016 election. It wasn’t long before the panel began to speculate about a secret plan orchestrated by “deep state” officials to remove Trump from the White House.

“I think they’re coming after Trump because they understand they have to destroy Trump, because to destroy Trump is not to destroy Trump, it’s to destroy this movement. They want to take that voice away from the forgotten man,” Bannon said.

Hannity added, “This is not about General Flynn. This isn’t about Paul Manafort. They’re just pawns.”

“Amen,” Bannon said.

“The ultimate goal—Andy McCarthy had a great piece. This is about the impeachment of the president. This is not about Trump-Russia collusion,” Hannity said.

Goodell brought up the idea that the government is carrying out a “slow-motion, steady effort to basically have a coup d’etat.” He said that he believes America is experiencing a “post-constitutional society” and that secret government forces are “willing to destroy this country to keep control.”

Hannity then speculated that “people like us” who have supported Trump and attempted to discredit the Russia probe will eventually end up in jail.

“By the way, people like us may end up in jail. Let me tell you. They will stop at nothing. This is what I’m trying to get across to people. This is serious. This is the rule of law in this country now,” Hannity said.

“Amen, Amen,” Bannon said.

At the Values Voter Summit earlier this year, President Trump declared that he will be “stopping cold the attacks on Judeo-Christian values” and that Americans will finally be “saying Merry Christmas again” after avoiding the phrase because “it’s not politically correct.” Now that the shackles of politically correct culture have been unlocked by our president, Right Wing Watch can finally release its 2017 annual gift guide for the holiday Christmas season.

“The Real Red Pills”

2017 was the year of the “red pill,” a term used first used online by men’s rights activists that alludes to a scene in the sci-fi movie “The Matrix” where the protagonist must decide between taking a “blue pill” that will allow him to continue living in blissful ignorance or a “red pill” that will awaken him to the bitter realities of the world. Online, recruits to the alt-right swallow metaphorical “red pills” when they finally internalize an alternate reality where Jewish people operate conspiracies to control humanity, white people are victims of modern racism, and immigration is destroying Western culture. Infowars architect Alex Jones recently co-opted the phrase to sell a heart-healthy supplement that promises to promote “healthy aging and cognitive function,” which should help combat the constant stress the conspiracy-minded among us must be under.

Milo Yiannopoulos “Everyone Who Hates Me Is Ugly” T-Shirt

After right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos’ year of disgraces, including revelations that his operation was funded almost exclusively by the Mercer family (but later defunded when Yiannopoulous’ open ties with white supremacist alt-right figures were revealed), he has gathered his fair share of haters. To all those who hate Yiannopoulos, his response is clear: You are ugly. For the loathed in your life, this t-shirt will be a surefire hit.

Jim Bakker’s “Super Grocery Store” Food Bucket Pallet

This year we saw the desperate and shameless extremes that End Times pastor Jim Bakker will go to sell his food buckets, which now have a full-time home on a private shopping network resembling QVC. Give a loved one the gift of more than 19 years of emergency food to help them ride out the impending End of Days, while providing them a viable alternative to cannibalism and protecting them from the wrath of God. The buckets come with 14 Christmas ornaments, which to our knowledge are not edible.

“Keep Christ In Christmas” American Family Association Wristband

The anti-LGBTQ group American Family Association has created rubber wristbands to remind you to keep the “Christ” in “Christmas” wherever you travel. The wristbands are sold in 10-packs, making these bracelets easy gifts for co-workers who need extra encouragement to drop the “happy holidays” greetings.

“Precious Snowflake Ornament” From Breitbart

Let the precious social justice warrior snowflakes in your life know you care with a tree ornament that Breitbart says will “remind them (even in the darkest times) that they are PRECIOUS.” And unlike the delicate flakes they resemble, the ornament’s USA silver steel construction won’t melt, “even if the recipients do.”

Donald Trump’s “Official Merry Christmas Hat”

Nothing says Christmas like the classic Trump-monetized “Merry Christmas” hat, which bears Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” adorned with Christmas lights. The hat follows the president’s line of themed “MAGA” hats and will surely be a welcome addition to any collector’s hat rack.

The Liberty Counsel’s “Help Save CHRISTmas Pack”

At first glance, this gift may seem redundant, given that our president has already enabled us to wish one another “Merry Christmas” once again, but be assured that this $25 gift pack from Liberty Counsel will let the world know that your loved one “helped save CHRISTmas” so they can receive the praise they deserve.

For The Kids

“Donald Thump”

The Right Wing Watch shopping guide would be incomplete without a treat for the kids, and for them we recommend “Thump: The First Bundred Days.” This children’s book tells the story of Donald Thump, “an unassuming, unconventional, and utterly unstoppable bunny,” who campaigns his way into the White House. The book features cartoon bunny renditions of Trump tweets, “Thump” constructing a southern border wall between himself and a mouse in a sombrero, and a frog proclaiming “KEK” to Thump (an homage to 4Chan).

Trumpy Bear

This teddy bear rendition of Trump, complete with his trademark hair, is sure to be a fixture in the room of any Trump-supporting child. The 22-inch plush bear comes with a certificate of authenticity and is offered in limited supply. As an added bonus, unzipping a pouch on Trumpy Bear’s neck will reveal an “ultra cozy flag themed blanket” to keep young ones warms while they stand for the national anthem on cold winter nights.

Breitbart editor Aaron Klein teamed up with Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist supplement salesman who heads Infowars, to further the site’s larger campaign to discredit and smear the women who have claimed that Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore sexually assaulted them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s.

Klein appeared on Infowars today to defend Moore against claims that he sexually assaulted teenage girls by claiming that the women who have come forward have credibility issues and that one was deemed “psychiatrically unstable.” Klein said the mainstream media committed “journalistic malpractice” by not reporting on what he believed to be “bombshells” that question the credibility of the women making the accusations.

Klein repeated to Jones many of the same claims he made last week on a special edition of “Breitbart News Tonight” with Steve Bannon. Klein claimed that the “D.A.” initials following a yearbook signature put forward as evidence for one accusation against Moore indicates that the note may be a forgery and that the woman’s ex-boyfriend “says she’s a liar” and her son “says she’s a liar.” The woman, Beverly Young Nelson, has since said that she added the “D.A.” as an annotation to Moore’s inscription, which Breitbart bizarrely claimed is evidence that the whole thing was “forged.”

Jones praised Klein, saying, “You said all this and you guys reported on it exclusively, basically—got attacked everywhere. You can see it’s fake. You can see it’s different, cobbled together. It’s a lifted signature put on there and now she has to admit she wrote it. I mean you can’t listen to anything that comes out of her mouth now.”

Klein went on to claim that one of the other accusers had a personal vendetta against Moore for representing her opponent in a case that resulted in her losing custody of her children. Jones acted amazed.

“I’m just thinking about as a lawyer and a [district attorney] and a judge, how many enemies this guy has got to have. Like, I’m a public figure and imagine if this was happening to me, people would just line up around the block to make it up,” Jones said.

Breitbart has gone to extreme lengths to defend Moore against the accusations and to attempt to discredit media outlets that have voiced criticism of Moore since the accusations were first made public. Klein’s appearance on Infowars demonstrates that Breitbart is intent on continuing its by-any-means-necessary approach to taking over the Republican Party.

Frank Gaffney, the founder of the anti-Muslim group Center for Security Policy, told Breitbart radio listeners today that he believed the United States government needs to surveil Muslim places of worship and create a legal mechanism for deporting Muslims.

Breitbart editor-in-chief and radio host Alex Marlow began the segment by asking Gaffney what can be done about so-called “chain migration,” which Media Matters pointed out yesterday is a new line of attack that is being used by the right to discredit family-based immigration policies that replaced national-origins quotas that prioritized European immigrants. Marlow asked Gaffney what the United States can do “about people who are already here who shouldn’t be here” and called current immigration policies an “offensive way to run a country” that makes a lot of people “fearful.”

“Whether people have been admitted to this country through, as I say, legal means—they’ve been allowed to come in and they’re on a student visa, they’re on a business visa, they’re on some other legal status, and then just decide to stay, or whether they’re people that have come here illegally over the border. There are people who are DACA people. There are people who are fully legal. We’ve invited them in and we’ve given them green cards either as refugees or as immigrants. If they’ve embraced this program, or if they came in having already embraced it from their native lands—of Sharia I’m talking about again—it is a serious challenge. And I think the first thing you have to do, where they are not legal, you have to subject them to deportation,” Gaffney said. “Full stop. That has to be one of the options that the government has.”

Gaffney went on to elaborate that he believed that the government should spy on mosques and Muslim communities and deport them if they exhibit what Gaffney calls “Sharia supremacism.”

“I think the other piece of this is that where they’re congregating,” Gaffney said, referring to Muslim people, “in places like mosques that embrace this tradition in Islam—and by the way, the authorities of the faith say Sharia is authoritative Islam.” Gaffney said he believed many mosques were “incubators for more of this Sharia supremacist business.”

He went on to say, “That has to be a function of, at the minimum, surveillance by the United States government and I think probably there has to be new legal authorities put into place to have them removed if we can.”

Tim Gionet, a disgraced alt-right figure who uses the moniker “Baked Alaska,” revealed on a New Year’s Eve livestream video that while he worked at Breitbart News, management at the outlet encouraged him to delete his prior anti-Semitic statements.

During Gionet’s “New Year’s Eve Blackpill Party” livestream on YouTube, Vincent James from the far-right YouTube channel “The Red Elephants” said that he believed many young men on the far-right are “heading in the wrong direction,” going on to claim that young men in the movement are spending too much time on the computer and don’t have enough willpower to find women to start families with. As he and other panelists discussed James’ comments, Gionet remarked that he “would love to honestly be able to just work a normal job.”

“If you’re going to say what you want to say, if you’re going to stand up for yourself, if you’re going to be pro-white at all—like I thought it was funny when people were attacking Paul Nehlen, they were using ‘pro-white’ as a smear,” Gionet said, referring to criticism of the far-right challenger to House Speaker Paul Ryan. “And so it’s like if you’re going to be pro-white at all, publicly, you can say goodbye to getting a job. You can say goodbye to working at any sort of company. You’re going to get fired immediately.”

Gionet went on to describe his experience working for Breitbart after having made public anti-Semitic statements.

“You know I, back in the day, used to work at Breitbart and I literally was told many times—they said, ‘Go through all your tweets and delete the word “Jew” in your tweets.’ And I was like, ‘What?’ Like, I was told that by Breitbart management,” Gionet said.

As in the cases of right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulous and Nehlen, who have both been revealed to have catered to white nationalists, Breitbart News appears to be happy to work alongside right-wing extremists as long as they conceal their most controversial views from the public.

Alex Jones, the nutritional supplement salesman who leads the conspiracy theory outlet Infowars, claimed that former White House chief strategist and Breitbart executive Steve Bannon “stabbed the president and America in the back” by telling an author that a meeting between Trump campaign staffers and a Russian lawyer was “treasonous” and went on to compare Bannon’s actions to mugging and rape.

Jones opened his show today by addressing the ongoing feud between the Trump administration and Bannon following reports that Bannon told author Michael Wolff that Trump never wanted to be president and that a meeting between Donald Trump Jr., then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort and a Russian lawyer was “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.” Jones concluded that Bannon’s actions proved he was part of a “deep state” effort to remove Trump from office.

“Bannon is at the heart of the attempt to take down the president now and it’s just like something out of a Roman tragedy. It’s like something out of what really happened to Julius Caesar,” Jones said.

Jones went on to call Bannon’s quotes and Bannon’s response to Trump’s disavowal “an unbelievable attempt to bring down the president. I mean, it is aimed at the president 100 percent—not just a pissing contest with Jared Kushner.”

Reading headline after headline reporting new details about the public spat surrounding the quotes Bannon gave to Wolff in the book, Jones grew increasingly frustrated. He eventually cracked after reading a headline from his own website, saying, “Meanwhile, Breitbart and Infowars readers pretty much unanimously side with Trump on war of words with Bannon.”

“It’s not a war of words. Bannon, if you get mugged, you weren’t in a fight, OK? Everybody’s calling this a fight. Bannon stabbed the president and America in the back,” Jones said before yelling, “It is not—it is not a fight. If somebody rapes your wife, she didn’t cheat on you.”
