Moms for America

Moms for America (MFA), founded in 2004 in Dayton, Ohio, is a pro-Trump, non-profit based throughout the United States. Moms for America Action (MFA Action) is the political advocacy and lobbying arm of MFA.
The group has some traction in the wingnutosphere: Jon Voight headlined Moms for America's July 4, 2019 "Rally for Freedom" outside the Capitol in Washington DC, and the attorney and anti-mask US Representative (R-AZ) has spoken at the group's rallies.
MFA was one of several sponsors of the January 6, 2021 "March to Save America", the Trump rally which rejected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election (which Donald Trump lost) and alleged a vast conspiracy by the Democrats to steal the election. The aggressive rhetoric used fuelled the crowd to march on the Capitol building and breach it in an attempted insurrection.

=='Mexican rapist' claims==
In 2018, echoing the howling of xenophobes to secure the US–Mexico border, Fletcher and co. organized a group visit to the border.

==2020 presidential election==
On November 1, 2020, MFA staged a rally outside the Supreme Court, encouraging the 'right people' (Trumpists) to vote. Fletcher has promoted Trump's baseless accusations of widespread voter fraud in U.S. elections since Trump started making them in 2016 and encouraged people to attend the December 12, 2020 "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington DC, which also propagated these lies.
===Save the Republic Rally===
On January 5, 2021, the day before Congress met for the MFA held a "Save the Republic Rally" at Area 9 on Capitol grounds, across from the The event drew ~500 people and cost $13,000 to $14,000.
During the rally, Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) issued a statement wherein she said: "Hitler was right on one thing. He said, whoever has the youth has the future." (Yes, the phrase "Hitler was right" was actually in her prepared remarks!) Unsurprisingly, many groups and politicians strongly condemned the comment, harshly criticized Miller, and exhorted the GOP to do likewise. Public statements were issued by the Anti-Defamation League, and multiple lawmakers.Multiple sources:
