| Geert Wilders | “Robert J. Shillman is the American sugar daddy who paid Geert Wilders' lawyer in the 'fewer Moroccans' case. Shillman is also one of the backers of Project Veritas, an organization affiliated with the Proud Boys who are increasingly believed to have played a leading role in the violent storming of the Capitol. The Canadian parliament has already called on the government to treat groups such as the Proud Boys as terrorist organizations from now on. The United States appears to be following that lead.” | Geert Wilders | 2021 |
