The New Castle County Council meeting on July 22, 2025, featured a contentious discussion regarding a resolution related to an international organization. One council member expressed significant concerns about the organization’s affiliations and the implications of supporting it.

The council member highlighted that the resolution included language criticizing the New York Times, labeling it as part of a misinformation campaign. This statement raised eyebrows, as the New York Times is widely regarded as a credible news source. The council member pointed out that the organization in question has financial ties to Epic Media Group, which is known for promoting far-right views and conspiracy theories, including those related to the 2020 election.

Further criticism was directed at the organization’s leadership and its controversial beliefs, including claims about alien invaders and race mixing. The council member also raised issues regarding the treatment of performers associated with the organization, alleging unfair pay and inadequate medical care.

Despite the council's previous support for this organization through three prior resolutions, the council member stated they could not endorse the current resolution due to the troubling associations and beliefs linked to the organization and its partners. The discussion underscored the complexities of local governance intersecting with broader political and social issues, prompting a call for deeper scrutiny of the organizations that local councils choose to support.
