Vice President Mike Pence will address this year’s Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, an event put on annually by Religious Right group Family Research Council.

Last year, President Donald Trump was the first sitting president to address the group. Trump was invited to speak at the conference again this year, but at the time of publication, his attendance was unconfirmed.

The Values Voters Summit is hosted annually by the Family Research Council, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has listed in its index of hate groups. FRC president Tony Perkins and his employees have actively lobbied against marriage equality and transgender rights for decades—an agenda that Perkins told radio listeners he once discussed with former White House adviser Steve Bannon. Last year, Bannon and other White House officials recruited FRC in their war against the Republican establishment that they believe to be too moderate.

As made abundantly clear last year, Perkins and his ilk have retooled their “family values” message from years past to include unwavering support of the Trump administration and its allies. Since last year’s conference, FRC has provided cover for failed Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore after he was accused of sexual misconduct with teenage girls while he was in his 30s, announced that evangelicals were giving Trump a “mulligan” for his alleged affair with Stephanie “Stormy Daniels” Clifford as long as he continues to fulfill their agenda, and called for prayers to protect Trump from “left-wing news media.” Coincidentally, Perkins has also received an appointment to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.

All the while, he’s likened baking cakes for same-sex couples to “indentured servitude,” blamed trans-inclusionary policies at a gym for a random guy who tried to do naked yoga in its facilities, proposed that Christians reconsider any plans to attend same-sex weddings, and compared accepting transgender people to allowing someone to commit suicide by jumping off a building. FRC senior fellow Cathy Ruse compared single-stall gender neutral bathrooms to child abuse. Despite this rhetoric, the group reportedly advised the Pentagon on policies surrounding transgender military service members.

FRC has also ramped up its anti-abortion activism and has been one of the many Religious Right organizations cheering on the appointment of Trump judges to the Supreme Court, believing that those appointments will help them overturn Roe v. Wade in upcoming years, and encouraging Trump to target Planned Parenthood. We expect that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman at a party in high school will be a major topic of discussion at this year’s conference.

This year’s schedule, as with prior years, reflects both FRC’s extreme agenda and its ready access to the levers of power in Washington. In addition to Pence, other confirmed speakers include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who raised eyebrows over his decision to speak at the event. Reps. Lee Chatfield of Michigan and Mark Meadows of North Carolina, Ohio state Rep. Christina Hagan, West Virginia state Rep. Kayla Kessinger and former Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia will also speak at this year’s conference.

Other speakers include:

The scheduled breakout sessions include one panel that will discuss how legislative compromise purportedly “creates laws antithetical to Christianity and conservatism” and conservatives’ “constitutional right to counter unbiblical views of social justice, immigration, gun control, and capitalism.” Other panels will focus on reaching out Millennial and Generation Z voters and addressing the supposed “free speech crisis” on college campuses in America.

The conference, as usual, carries sponsorships from the political action arm of the American Family Association and American Values, an organization that states it is “deeply committed to defending life, traditional marriage and equipping our children with the values necessary to stand against liberal education and cultural forces.” VVS is co-sponsored The Heritage Foundation, which has become the most influential political group influencing the Trump administration agenda.
