Among other things, Biden clearly has a vetting problem. When will he denounce and fire her?
@JoeBiden campaign cybersecurity expert Jackie Singh @find_evil (changed her Twitter account & locked it apparently) participated in racist internet troll group washex.am/3iDowUN
Singh spent years affiliating with a hacking organization and boasted on a personal blog about breaking into her neighbor's computers
Jackie Singh, who joined the Biden campaign in July as a senior cyber incident responder and threat analyst, was an affiliate of the hacking organization the Gay N----- Association of America, once headed by white nationalist Andrew Auernheimer.
The GNAA, described by the Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium as an "extremist right wing terrorist group," has claimed responsibility for attacks on webpages/businesses, including Obama’s 2008 campaign page, and vandalizing Wikipedia pages for Hillary and Bill Clinton.
Throughout the logs seen by the Washington Examiner, Singh repeatedly uses racial slurs and off-color jokes in conversation with other members. In one instance, she expresses frustration that the use of the N-word had been banned from the IRC channel.
Other times, Singh justifies the use of the word, recounting frustrations with job recruiters.
Archived tweets from Singh's personal account show her interacting with Auernheimer in 2015. Tweets from October 2015 show Singh referring to the two of them as "friends."
Auernheimer, who reportedly lives in Eastern Europe, is an avowed white supremacist who has a swastika tattoo on his chest. In 2017, he worked as the webmaster for the neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer.
Following the 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting by a white supremacist that left 22 dead, Auernheimer wrote that “random violence is not detrimental to the cause... we need to convince Americans that violence against nonwhites is desirable or at least not something worth opposing."
In the #2600 chat, Singh would often link to tweets from her personal account boasting about how she would troll politicians such as former Florida Gov. and 2016 Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush.
Photos provided to the Washington Examiner show Singh in 2018 at a #telephreak party, a phone-based hacking collective affiliated with #2600. Other photos showed Singh at events with other #2600 members.
Outside of the IRC channel, Singh briefly maintained a personal LiveJournal blog under the pseudonym "jax0m," where she discussed issues with her first marriage and frustrations in the workplace. The blog has since been deleted, but an archive remains viewable on WayBack Machine.
In a post dated Jan. 12, 2005, Singh boasts about hacking into the laptop of her neighbor, a purported Halliburton employee, and describing the victim with homophobic slurs.
The Washington Examiner asked the Biden campaign about Singh's history in the IRC chat, as well as the contents of her blog and her public interactions with Auernheimer.
Despite repeated outreach for comment, the Biden campaign would not speak to the issue on the record but did provide a statement from Singh.
"These accusations are categorically untrue and the words falsely attributed to me are anathema to the values I've embraced and championed in my life," she said.
“I've never been a member of that group, and the chat logs have been faked and promoted by individuals as part of an ongoing online harassment campaign."
Singh did not offer comment on her personal blog, which experts say would be nearly impossible to falsify, her public interactions with Auernheimer on Twitter, or multiple pictures over the years of her at social gatherings with #2600 members in subsequent questions.
The Washington Examiner also asked Singh how she could be certain the IRC transcripts were falsified when their tone matched conversations she shared on her own blog; its existence she never denied.
Singh also did not offer comment on whether she knew Auernheimer was a white supremacist, despite the fact that he had written racist screeds on far-right websites a year prior to their last interaction on Twitter.
