Leading Republican contributors finance an organization engaged in revealing personal information (doxxing) of college students advocating for Palestine.

Accuracy in Media, a far-right group, funded by top Republican donors including Richard Uihlein, Peter Coors, and Jeff Yass, exposes personal information of pro-Palestinian college activists. Their tax returns reveal this. The group targets those deemed too supportive of Palestinians or insufficiently supportive of Israel in their doxxing campaigns.

A far-right activist group, which is exposing personal details of pro-Palestinian college activists, disclosed its funding sources in a CNBC-reviewed tax return. The donors, a combination of top Republican political contributors and nonprofits supported by affluent business figures, contributed nearly $1.9 million between May 2022 and April of last year.

Among the listed contributors in the tax return are billionaire Republican megadonor Jeff Yass, who provided Accuracy in Media with $1 million. Additionally, the Ed Uihlein Family Foundation, associated with shipping supply magnate Richard Uihlein, donated $10,000, and the Milstein Family Foundation, overseen by real estate executive and Republican supporter Adam Milstein, contributed another $10,000, as reported to the Internal Revenue Service.

Accuracy in Media's tax return indicates that it obtained $15,000 from the charitable foundation of the Coors brewing family. The Adolph Coors Foundation, led by former Molson Coors executive Peter H. Coors, serves as its chair, as per the foundation's most recent tax documents.

Yass, Uihlein, Milstein, and Coors have consistently supported Republican campaigns over the last ten years. However, Jeff Yass distinguishes himself. As the co-founder of Susquehanna International Group, he and his wife Janine are the most significant political donors in the 2024 election cycle. Their contributions to dozens of Republican candidates and committees amount to $70 million, as reported by the nonpartisan campaign finance database OpenSecrets.
