Founder Of Anti-Muslim Group Says She's Attending White House Meeting

By MATT SHUHAM Published MARCH 21, 2017, 11:13 AM EDT

The founder of the anti-Muslim group ACT for America claimed Monday night that she would be attending a meeting at the White House.

Brigitte Gabriel asked readers for advice on what to bring up in the meeting:




A White House official told TPM that they were "not aware" of any meeting with Gabriel at the White House.

ACT is known for its extensive grassroots structure of hundreds of local chapters, which play host to a traveling circuit of “counter-terrorism” and anti-Muslim speakers. BuzzFeed noted Monday that ousted National Security Adviser Michael Flynn called Islam a “cancer” at an " target="_blank">ACT meeting.

Gabriel (born Hanah Kahwagi Tudor), the Southern Poverty Law Center noted in a profile, once told the Australian Jewish News that “every practicing Muslim is a radical Muslim.”
