Steve Bannon & Rebekah Mercer Funded Report On Terror Groups Like League of Conservation Voters, Sierra Club, Sunrise
EDIT
One of the reports, called “Riot Inc.,” was produced by the Government Accountability Institute, which was founded by Trump ally Steve Bannon and bankrolled by Rebekah Mercer, a major Trump campaign donor. The other was produced by the Capital Research Center, which is funded by a series of conservative foundations and conservative dark money groups that also battle against climate regulations. The Riot Inc. document attempts to link dozens of left-leaning groups to what report author Seamus Bruner has called the “protest industrial complex.”
It centers on groups that have ties to Arabella Advisors, a for-profit consulting firm closely associated with the Democratic party. Arabella Advisors manages “dark money” funds that support Democratic politicians and causes — and allows donors to remain anonymous. Among the groups the Riot Inc. report claims as having links to Arabella Advisors are the Sierra Club, the League of Conservation Voters, 350.org, the Sunrise Movement, the Center for Biological Diversity and NextGen Climate.
Arabella has long been a target for conservative groups because it helped power President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory. In a statement, Arabella officials stressed that the group condemns all forms of political violence and that it does not fund or organize violent protests. “Arabella is a private business that provides professional services to foundations, philanthropists, and nonprofit organizations in full compliance with the law,” the group stated.

A White House spokesperson did not answer questions from E&E News about whether the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Justice were probing environmental groups. But the spokesperson broadly defended the administration’s efforts against liberal groups. “Left-wing organizations have fueled violent riots, organized attacks against law enforcement officers, coordinated illegal doxing campaigns, arranged drop points for weapons and riot materials, and more,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement. “The Trump Administration will get to the bottom of this vast network inciting violence in American communities, and the President’s executive actions to address left-wing violence will employ a whole-of-government approach to end any illegal activities.”
The White House, however, offered no evidence that environmental groups were engaging in such activities. Trump and other senior administration officials, such as deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, have said their investigations into Democrat-aligned groups and funders are about quelling political violence. Miller has been one of the most vocal proponents for using the weight of the federal government to go after liberal groups and their donors, which he has claimed are part of a “vast domestic terror movement.”
