..? if King’s Army is being supported by TPUSA then it’s through TurningPoint Action.

That claim is what I'm asking for sources on. What source do you have that says they are being supported by TPUSA? King's Army's website says they are non political.

Their website says they’re non-political, and their actions are organising street protests about "morality" in London’s main gay district.

A generous interpretation would be that you’re naive.

That wasn't politically motivated, though. Nor were they advocating political change. It was likely an attempt at exorcism/evangelism

oh I see, you just literally don't know what words mean.

They were chanting "Jesus saves" not "Ban homosexuality"

….what the hell are you talking about lol. hello, this thread is your source? the post you’re responding to? the post that says TPUSA has a branch in the UK that supports King’s Army? i don’t understand what the hell is being questioned lol.

are you talking about financial funding? i don’t know if TPUSA is funneling money to King’s Army, but that wouldn’t surprise me. TPUSA is supporting them regardless of it being financial or political.

why is it relevant? Hitler supported animal rights, yet I'm not out here calling vegan activists nazis (even the radical ones)

wtf are you-- dude lol. i was merely explaining how TPUSA organizes its political arm. that's it.

It's unrelated to the King's Army from what I've found.
