| | + | {{quotebox-float|“Documents uncovered by the [[Media Research Center]] (MRC) revealed the Biden Administration used a $40 million grant program of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ostensibly earmarked for anti-[[terrorism]] purposes, to target [[conservative]] organizations and [[media]], including Breitbart News. |
| | + | |
| | + | The Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program (TVTP) was established by the DHS in 2011 to combat [[Al Qaeda]], but was vastly expanded in its scope by the Biden administration. |
| | + | |
| | + | Its grants now encompass several “media literacy and online critical thinking initiatives”, the most radical of which accuse conservative organizations including Breitbart News, [[Turning Point USA]], and the [[Heritage Foundation]] of turning Americans into [[violent]] [[neo-Nazi]]s. |
| | + | |
| | + | Under Biden, the program awarded eighty grants, totaling $39,611,999. Fifty-two percent of the grants were awarded to public institutions and 48 percent went to private organizations. |
| | + | |
| | + | One institution that was awarded a grant, the University of Dayton, used its DHS money to create a training program explaining how content from Breitbart News, [[Fox News]], the Heritage Foundation, the [[National Rifle Association]], [[PragerU]], and the [[Republican National Committee]] among others led to far-right radicalization. |
| | + | |
| | + | The conservative organizations were placed in a “pyramid of far-right radicalization” that began with the most mainstream conservative organizations and ended with violent neo-Nazi militants.”<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2023/05/25/biden-administrations-40m-anti-terrorism-program-targets-breitbart-news/</ref>}} |
