The relationship between the Moonies and conservatives was very close especially after they bought the Washington Times. At one point they got a bunch of congressmen to show up for a ceremony where Moon was crowned king of the world.

I would not be surprised! I’m trying to find the scans of the newsletter, which had far more documentation on their activities.
