Meet John "Jack" Jerman, 23, of Salt Lake City, UT.

Today we're exposing Jerman as a racist, homophobic & otherwise hateful Latter-day Saint (Mormon) missionary. @Ch_JesusChrist

A member of the original Discord server, some of the most vile & disturbing content comes from Jack

CONTENT WARNING

Racism, misogyny, antisemitism, slurs & references to violence such as school shootings & sexual assault. As disturbing as this content is, it's important to show examples of this person’s hateful ideology in his own words, rather than simply describing it.

Going by the name "Brother Jerman" in the Discord server this person was easy to identify as they didn't bother to use a pseudonym: his last name is Jerman

He also posted a selfie in the chat which allowed us to confirm his identity as John "Jack" Jerman of SLC, UT. #DezNat

By the time Jack found the "Bunch of Latter Day Saints" Discord server, he was well on his way to being a racist & antisemite.

Twitter archives from 2018 show him RT'ing neo-Nazi podcaster Alex McNabb & white supremacist Stefan Molyneux. Read here: bit.ly/3oERzLm

In the Discord chat, Jerman posted extremely disturbing, racist, and antisemitic content, including a fantasy about carrying out a racially-motivated attack at his old high school. #DezNat

In March 2019, Jerman openly declared himself a "yuge racist."

He also offers that "someone" should call their state legislator and ask them "Have you gassed the k*kes yet?"

“Brother Jerman” also used numerous other slurs in the DezNat Discord chat.

Although he claims pioneer heritage, Jack Jerman grew up in what he describes as an “ex-Mormon” family, and joined the LDS church as a convert in his late teens. He uses numerous racial slurs when describing members of his home church congregation.

Jack Jerman is a misogynist & rape apologist. According to Jerman, most lesbians are straight women who say they don’t want to have sex with men, but would change their minds if a man had sex with them anyway – a concept described by Discord user “Atropin” as “corrective r*pe.”

At other times Jerman casually declares that women are “pretty stupid and utterly irrational,” “women are property,” and “women are evil.”

While Jerman was preparing to serve as a missionary of @Ch_JesusChrist, @/DeseretDagger tweeted “I disavow any DezNat who support r*pe” Jerman posted a screen showing him about to block "Dagger" bc of the disavowal. Later Jerman would travel to CA to tell people Jesus loves them.

November 2019 Elder Jack Jerman entered the Missionary Training Center prior to beginning his @Ch_JesusChrist mission in San Bernardino, CA. He has continued his social media activity while in the mission field including laughing at someone who was threatened & bullied by #DezNat

CALL TO ACTION:

Elder Jack Jerman is currently serving in the San Bernardino CA @Ch_JesusChrist Mission. His Mission President is Marshall McKinnon. We believe that Pres McKinnon is unaware of Jack Jerman’s social media activity...

...You can let Pres McKinnon know one of his @Ch_JesusChrist missionaries is racist, antisemitic, queerphobic, misogynist, & takes time to laugh at people who say they’re receiving death threats by leaving a comment at the Mission’s Facebook page. facebook.com/californiasanb…
