"In a recent candidate forum, Jace Yarbrough unapologetically staked out a series of extremist positions, saying that critics may call his approach to politics bigoted and backward and oppressive and Nazi-ish, but that he is past trying to placate that in any way, shape or form. Following the flood of donations in December, Yarbrough was endorsed by Donald Trump on Truth Social."
"John Bellamy Foster, professor of sociology at the University of Oregon, said:Jace Yarbrough is among the most militant figures in the Maga political movement in the United States, and a major recipient of Maga-billionaire donations in his run for a congressional seat in North Texas. Foster added: If it can be said that there is a neofascist political movement in the United States, Yarbrough is certainly one of its chief would-be lawgivers'."
A rookie congressional candidate in a nine-way Texas primary attracted early donations from wealthy hard-right donors including Peter Thiel, Thomas Klingenstein and Charles Haywood, according to Federal Election Commission filings. Jace Yarbrough embraced extremist positions at a candidate forum and said critics may call his approach bigoted, backward, oppressive and Nazi-ish, but he will not placate them. A December influx of donations preceded an endorsement by Donald Trump on Truth Social. Additional donors have ties to the Claremont Institute and the Society for American Civic Renewal, including Nate Fischer and Andrew Beck, and some employees of Beck & Stone donated. Only Klingenstein replied, saying he has no particular objections. Yarbrough is a lawyer and an Air Force reservist.
