Update, 6:45pm ET:

On November 11, embattled DNC Chief Donna Brazile tweeted that she "ran into James O'Keefe in Florida at a conference hosted by David Horowitz." She then explained that she spoke with the ultra-conservative online provocateur O’Keefe, stating that they had the following interaction:

Asked O'Keefe if he bugged the DNC. His answer: No. asked if he was filming or tape recording my questions? Answer No. We parted company. — Donna Brazile (@donnabrazile) November 11, 2016

AlterNet contacted Brazile seeking more information, but she did not respond until AlterNet published a report that she attended the Horowitz-tied conference, based on the account she provided on social media. Brazile then called and explained that she had been at a conference of Council of 100 in West Palm Beach, Florida when she interacted with O’Keefe. She clarified that she was not a participant in Restoration Weekend, a gathering hosted by David Horowitz that features white nationalists, Islamophobes and neo-fascists. Following Brazile's clarification, AlterNet updated this report.

'Restoration Weekend'

“Restoration Weekend 2016” was organized by the Freedom Center, a far-right group that has become a vehicle for the veteran conservative activist David Horowitz to purvey anti-Muslim views.

Confirmed speakers include Nigel Farage, who heads the extremist anti-immigrant United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). In remarks to the Conservative Political Action Conference last year, Farage denounced the “mistaken policy of multiculturalism,” declaring that “we must stand firm and defend our Judeo-Christian culture. We must make it clear that we believe in common law and not Sharia law.”

The conference also features Robert Spencer, described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “one of America’s most prolific and vociferous anti-Muslim propagandists.” Spencer co-founded the organization Stop Islamization of America and is the director of the online platform Jihad Watch, which is a project of the Freedom Center. His polemics against Muslims and Islam were cited numerous times in the manifesto of Anders Breivik, the Norwegian far-right killer behind the July mass shooting. Spencer and Pamela Geller were barred in 2013 from entering the United Kingdom because their extremist views were deemed “not conducive to the public good.”

Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, also a featured speaker, is a white nationalist who has built a name for himself courting LGBTQ communities with racist, anti-Muslim and anti-feminist messaging. He and co-author Allum Bokhari boasted in an article published in March: “Just as the kids of the 60s shocked their parents with promiscuity, long hair and rock’n’roll, so too do the alt-right’s young meme brigades shock older generations with outrageous caricatures, from the Jewish ‘Shlomo Shekelburg’ to ‘Remove Kebab,’ an internet in-joke about the Bosnian genocide.”

During his Annie Taylor Award acceptance speech at the conference, whose full text is available online, Yiannopoulos reflected on Trump’s victory. “We need to start thinking like Mossad infiltrating terror organizations, not like a family that must keep the peace during Thanksgiving, which is so often the conservative away,” he said. Yiannopolous went on to encourage conservatives to “wade into the bastions of the enemy,” which he said include “black neighborhoods.”

He called for “culture war,” claiming that “the Western civilization we love has been attacked from without by Islam, and from within by a left-wing ideology that prefers our Muslim foes in Mecca to the Athens of Plato, the Jerusalem of Hillel and the Rome of John Paul II.”
