Wild story: Meet Kurt Jantz (rap name Forgiato Blow aka 'Donald Trump's Nephew').
By his telling, he's the grandson of Auto Trader's founder.
Jantz flew to DC in a private jet on January 6th... 1/
Pics: Parler, Facebook.
2/ Jantz and entourage then went to the #Capitol and filmed the pro-Trump "We Outside" rap video restricted grounds.. in the middle of the siege.
Lyrics like:
"my president is Trump never be sleepy Joe.."
"free all my people at last or Imma have to hit em with the gas""
3/ Jantz jetted home. His spokesperson told @donie @CNN he didn't enter the #Capitol building.
He did keep up the flow of music videos, which bring us to him dancing with Roger Stone at CPAC.
4/ This was for a music video mocking the investigation. Featuring #ProudBoys leader Enrique Tarrio
Refrain: "the feds did a sweep they was knocking at the front door, patriots pulling up they was knocking on the #Capitol"
Check out @donie's piece.👇
5/ Why is this interesting? Jantz is a (niche) cultural figure recasting the #Capitol siege in a positive light... away from the huge stigma it has for most...marketing it and making it look cool while taunting the feds in the process.
6/ Lest you think Forgiato Blow is completely marginal: he did a remixed Ice Ice Baby video with @vanillaice & @RickRoss in 2019. He also toured with Vanilla Ice for a minute.

7. Please, someone do a piece on the #MAGAhadeen aesthetic. Forgiato Blow is just the volume-knob-to-11 of the #tacticool look that is all over a certain kind of American's wardrobe right now.
8/ Can someone help me figure out whether Kurt Jantz is actually a @usairforce veteran?
