Trump World in the Woodlands
Slurs, Right Wing Diatribes and Misdirection Abound at the Texans Against Communism Event
JUNE 25, 2019
In Saturday's Texans Against Communism event, part of a Latinos for Trump conference held in The Woodlands, a lead-off speaker questioned the genders of both Barack and Michelle Obama, while another quoted a reading from the Proud Boys (who describe themselves as "western chauvinists" but who the Southern Poverty Law Center identifies as a "hate group"
praising the men who created the greatest civilization and "the housewives who create the community in which we live."
Following an organized protest from the Houston United Front Against Fascism group and a Houston Press report, the weekend conference was moved from its original site at The Woodlands Financial Group training facility to the Hyatt Place in the Woodlands on Research.
The conference was held in partnership with Texans United for America, a political organization responsible for the 1776 Freedom March in Austin that featured speeches denouncing multiculturalism and immigrants and calling for armed rebellion. Scheduled speakers included New Zealand author Trevor Loudon (The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress) and Joey Gibson, the founder of Patriot Prayer, a Vancouver, Oregon based right-wing political group known for their participation in violent rallies on the West Coast. On Facebook, the event appeared to be co-sponsored by Texas Patriot Network, a group who last year stormed the Islamic Society of North America conference shouting that members either needed to convert to Christianity or leave Texas. Leaked chat logs from members of the group showed that they had planned to isolate and attack conference attendees.
