'White supremacist manifesto': Report unmasks 'history of racist writing' by Project 2025 - Rawstory Many of its proposals have come from Trump allies. And Heritage had a strong presence at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Trump's running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance wrote the forward for a forthcoming book by Heritage President Kevin Roberts who, critics say, threatened violence against Project 2025's opponents when he told Real America's Voice, "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."
USA Today's Will Carless explains: A closer look at the named contributors to Project 2025 adds to the concern. A USA Today analysis found at least five of them have a history of racist writing or statements, or white supremacist activity. They include Richard Hanania, who for years, wrote racist essays for white supremacist publications under a pseudonym until he was unmasked by a Huffington Post investigation last year.
Carless adds, "Failed Virginia GOP Senate candidate Corey Stewart, another named contributor, has long associated with white supremacists and calls himself a protector of America's Confederate history tasked with 'taking back our heritage.' One Project 2025 contributor wrote that immigrants have lower IQs than white native citizens, leading to 'underclass behavior.' Another dropped out of contention for a prestigious role at the Federal Reserve amid controversy over a racist joke about the Obamas."
