The @meme_america account promoting #VerifiedHate was previously run by "Millennial Matt." It's a stage name used by Holocaust denying white supremacist Matt Colligan, a Unite the Right marcher.

Matt Colligan is pretty comfortable waving a swastika flag, as reported by @crislopezg mediamatters.org/blog/2017/10/1…
#VerifiedHate has some significant reach in Trump circles that goes a little beyond Colligan's usual audience of anti-Semitic NEETs. The planning of it was chronicled by @chick_in_kiev: mediamatters.org/blog/2018/08/0…
Not only does @TwitterSupport give blue checkmarks to Hateful racists like Sarah Jeong but they also allow Verified Antifa leftists to openly Dox people and attack their 3 year old children. This is pure evil.

I see so many " Conservatives " avoid Retweeting this because he is a so called Nazi. Shame on you !!! Do you not see the pattern yet? They label anyone a Nazi as a pretext to ruin their lives. Did you not see a black woman @RealCandaceO get called a white supremacist by a mob?
Today the radical left is doxing a "White Supremacist" tomorrow they will dox your local pastor for preaching on a controversial issue about sexuality!!!! Mark My words !!! Fight back now or bow the knee like a coward !!!
Over the last several days, a new hashtag has appeared and propagated on Twitter: #VerifiedHate. The concept seems to be to attack verified (blue-check) accounts that are theoretically promoting hate against white people.
We downloaded recent tweets containing the #VerifiedHate hashtag. We found 18092 tweets from 9747 accounts - the first tweet is in the wee hours of the morning on August 5th, and the hashtag takes off on the evening of August 7th.
This hashtag campaign appears to have been planned on other platforms in two stages. First, we have this post on Gab from 8/5, which is within minutes of the first tweet from @Keque_Magus. It's followed by plenty of additional Gab discussion promoting #VerifiedHate.
