==On Bill Clinton==
Brown "published '''Slick Willie:' Why America Cannot Trust Bill Clinton'', a slim paperback book distributed as part of a direct mail fundraising effort. The book is a [[right-wing]] tirade designed to document Clinton's lack of character. What it also showed was that Brown unabashedly mixes sexism and homophobia in his conservative analysis. Along with standard attacks on Clinton as a draft dodger and friend to labor unions, Brown asserts: 'Bill Clinton's America sees no difference between families of 'homosexual lovers' and the traditional, monogamous, faithful family...In addition, Mr. Clinton has surrendered completely to the pro-[[abortion]] feminists who dominate the [[Democratic Party]].'" [[David N. Bossie]] was the "main researcher for Brown's ''Slick Willie'' book, and wrote for ClintonWatch."<ref>[http://www.publiceye.org/conspire/clinton/Clintonculwar8-12.html Profile: Floyd G. Brown], ''The Public Eye'', accessed July 2, 2007.</ref>

In his Citizens United profile, Brown describes his activities thusly:<ref>[http://www.citizensunited.org/about/?about=floydbrown Biography: Floyd G. Brown], Citizens United, accessed July 2, 2007.</ref>

:"Several Brown organized campaigns have been studied for their effectiveness; these include the effort to secure the confirmation of Judge [[Clarence Thomas]], and the independent expenditure campaigns against [[Michael Dukakis]] and Bill Clinton. The anti Dukakis effort produced the famous ''Willie Horton'' commercial."

The "independent expenditure campaign" to which Brown refers was the [[Presidential Victory Committee]], a successor Citizens United project to Americans for Bush.<ref>[http://www.opensecrets.org/pubs/law_bagtricks/loop4.asp "Independent Expenditures,"] ''Open Secrets'', accessed June 28, 2007.</ref>

==On Hillary Clinton==
Floyd Brown invented the Reagan-era Willie Horton lie, helped create the  Citizens United group, and now owns Liftable Media, including sites like  Conservative Tribune (50th most-trafficked site in the USA) and Western  Journalism (81st), whence came fake news stories like:
* the lie that Obama  had altered the White House logo to include a white flag of surrender (the logo change came from GWB's White House)
* the lie that Muslims had been  "ordered" to vote for Hillary; 
* the lie that Obama had encouraged millennial non-citizen Latinos to vote without fear of reprisals; 
* the lie that Clinton had a Vegas "drug holiday" before the debate;
*  the lie that Obama's birth certificate was not accepted by experts as genuine<br>
Brown's sites are all included in Facebook's verified news sources.  Brown is a Trump advisor, also identified by Trump's spokesperson as "a close friend." [http://boingboing.net/2016/11/26/trumps-presidential-hires-an.html]
