NEW: A Leaked Riley Gaines Video Is Raising Some Awkward Questions.
Gaines has spent years building a national profile as a conservative activist, speaking passionately about issues like abortion, religious liberty, free speech, and women’s rights.
She presents those positions as deeply held convictions.
But in newly surfaced footage, Gaines appears to stop before a promotional recording and ask Patriot Mobile representatives:
“Wait, tell me the pillars again.”
The representatives then walk her through the organization’s core political priorities, including pro-life advocacy, the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment.
Moments later, she launches into a polished endorsement.
How much of political influencer culture is conviction and how much is branding?
