Far-Right Leader Tells Teen Girls In Audience To 'Keep Having Babies' To 'Make More Americans'

Conservative columnist Benny Johnson—currently serving as Chief Creative Officer (CCO) at conservative youth organization Turning Point USA—generated controversy after he told female attendees at the organization's annual Young Women’s Leadership Summit to "keep having babies" to make "more Americans."

Johnson's comments were reported by Madeline Peltz, a reporter with Media Matters for America (MMA), the media watchdog group that has chronicled much of the propaganda coming out of the far-right these last few years.

The tone of Johnson's speech was harshly criticized, with many pointing out his views are indicative of the current wave of Christian nationalist thought that advocates for White nationalism at all costs.
