Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel planned to keep secret a $4,100 trip last year that was funded by a Christian legal organization accused of being a hate group, according to newly released records.

The five-day trip to a southern California resort in July 2017 surfaced this month after Schimel alluded to a conference paid for by the Alliance Defending Freedom in annual financial disclosures.

.....................ADF has been previously called an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Schimel appeared on conservative talk radio programs last week to refute the criticisms, saying in one interview that there is "nothing anti-gay" about ADF and he attended the conference to speak on a panel about states' rights.

"I’ve never gone to a conference where there was frankly so much love," Schimel said during another interview................................................

...........The Southern Poverty Law Center has classified ADF as an extremist organization that supports criminalizing homosexuality and believes the homosexual “agenda” seeks to undermine the family and Christianity. The center cites ADF activity over the past two decades; among the items mentioned is a book ADF founder Alan Sears co-wrote and published in 2003 that refers to the “homosexual agenda” as the principal threat to religious freedom.

More recently, ADF helped write a Mississippi law that lets government workers and private business people cite religious beliefs to deny services to LGBT people.

“There’s no legitimate reason for Gov. Walker’s lawyers or Brad Schimel and DOJ staff to be at a hate group conference,” said Scot Ross, executive director of liberal group One Wisconsin Now.

ADF officials refute the center’s characterization, saying the organization works to preserve fundamental American freedoms. Schimel also has defended the group, telling conservative talk radio this month that he had never attended a conference with so much love.

Why isn't that surprising?

Time to shine a little light on this crowd. Made a good living bashing public employees and this is how they act while in office!
