RNA - In a fundraising email, Brigitte Gabriel, the head of the grassroots anti-Muslim activist group ACT for America, boasted about her organization’s connections to the incoming Trump administration.

The statement promises an aggressive federal and state legislative agenda in the coming year, including attempting to eliminate the country’s refugee resettlement program, enabling profiling by federal law enforcement agencies and “monitoring the radical mosques.”

Gabriel also promises that her group will write and promote a resolution forbidding the Council on American Islamic Relations and other Muslim-American organizations that she says are “Muslim Brotherhood front groups” from “addressing state elected bodies.”

Gabriel writes that not only does her organization have ties to top Trump advisers, including incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn, CIA nominee Mike Pompeo and campaign adviser Walid Phares, but it “has played a fundamental role in shaping [Trump’s] views and suggested policies with respect to radical Islam”
