Documents show the Conservative Partnership Institute is pushing its far-right agenda at events involving GOP members
A powerful, rightwing lobbying group is promoting a hard-right policy agenda and cementing ties between the Republican party and the far right at at least 21 events involving senators, members of Congress, and both junior and senior political aides, documents obtained by the Guardian show.
The documents offer previously unreported details of Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) trainings and “bootcamps” for congressional staff at CPI’s sprawling Maryland ranch, and lavish, star-studded retreats for members of Congress – mostly members of the far-right Freedom caucus – at a string of Florida resorts.
They also show how CPI, widely described as the “nerve center of the Maga movement”, enlisted its own network of affiliated organizations along with like-minded far-right organizations – some classified as hate groups by experts – as well as individual extremists to promote anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-vaccine policies, along with others premised on the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.
Can someone smarter than me explain why the outside, and not the inside, of the cap is reflected in the table? Or am I just dumb and its been photoshopped
If you look close, it is two hats sitting on top of each other like at the store. They both have the cap part folded forward into itself so they can be stacked.
Wasn’t my downvote btw but interesting spot none the less.
the camera angle makes it reflect in this way, looks like a legit photo to me
The very low camera angle is causing the reflection to show the front side of the hat. If the camera moves up the reflection would shift to show more of the inside of the hat.
Put a small object on your phone screen and put your eye down close to the plane of the screen and you will see this effect.
Light is funny, reflections are weird.
