The attorneys general of Texas, Missouri, and Montana cited NAAG’s “intolerable” leftward shift as their reason for leaving. In recent months, the group has pushed efforts to isolate conservative “misinformation” in social media and featured left-wing mega donor Tom Steyer’s brother as a keynote speaker. NAAG has also featured speakers from the Southern Poverty Law Center, which routinely brands conservative organizations as hate groups.
