Leonard Leo won his decades-long crusade to reshape the US legal system when he helped Donald Trump appoint three conservative Supreme Court justices, securing a Right-leaning supermajority in the nation’s highest court.
While he has since fallen out of favour with the president who last week branded him a “sleazebag”, the Federalist Society leader has quietly been fighting another battle: giving pop culture a Godly makeover.
“I just said to myself well if this can work for law, why can’t it work for lots of other areas of American culture and American life where things are really messed up right now,” Mr Leo said in a promotional video for Teneo, a conservative networking hub he helped fund.
He went on: “Entertainment that’s really corrupting our youth – why can’t we build talent pipelines and networks that can positively affect those areas as well?”
So far, the Christian power player’s campaign to litter the streaming charts with conservative programming is another success story.
