The Bureau of Land and Management has hired conservative pundit/lawyer William Perry Pendley as its second-in-command. Pendley has tweeted that climate change isn't real and diversity is killing people. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/07/1…
Pendley from this April: "How many have died and how many more will die because of diversity and race-based decision making?"
Trump's Miami resort will host an event featuring Eric Trump and Ian Smith, an antisemitic fitness influencer who promotes neo-Nazi, pro-Hitler, and Holocaust denial content. He's at least the fourth Hitler-promoting antisemite who’s toured w/ Eric Trump. mediamatters.org/eric-trump/tru…
Smith, who also spoke at Trump's Miami resort in May, killed someone in 2007 while driving drunk. In 2022, he was arrested for driving under the influence; that charge was dropped and Smith instead pled guilty over his “refusal to take a breathalyzer test and careless driving.”
Also scheduled to speak at the event with the Hitler-promoting antisemite are: Lara Trump; Trump lawyers Alina Habba and Christina Bobb; Roger Stone; Mike Flynn; Kash Patel; Peter Navarro; and Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers.
I flagged numerous X posts which claimed that “Hitler was right” or there needs to be a “final solution” regarding Jewish people. X's reporting system responded in five instances that those posts don't violate the platform’s “safety policies.” mediamatters.org/twitter/x-repe…
A leading neo-Nazi group with terrorism links has been trying to recruit members on its verified Twitter account since Musk took over. Twitter has placed ads for numerous brands like USA Today, NWSL, the Steelers, and Discovery on the pro-Hitler account. mediamatters.org/twitter/twitte…
There's nothing hidden about the ideology of the account (National Socialist Network): It's named after the Nazi Party; it tweets praise of Hitler (“the greatest man to ever live!”); it posts the swastika; and its bio states, "Australia for the white man."
Twitter knows about the pro-Nazi account -- the company previously found it had broken its "hateful conduct rule" -- but Twitter has: 1) allowed the account to continue; 2) verified it; and 3) monetized it by placing ads on their page.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s group Children's Health Defense has been using the far-right platform Gab to do outreach. A review of the account found that the group messaged an open neo-Nazi, along with white supremacists, antisemites, and QAnon supporters. mediamatters.org/gab/group-foun…
Gab is run by virulent antisemite Andrew Torba. Kennedy's group wrote to him in 2021 asking for help: "Please follow + support Children's Health Defense and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. #Freespeech is yet again under attack.”
Kennedy's group in 2021 sent a link to its website to this Gab account, which features neo-Nazi imagery and the white supremacist "14 Words." Posts from that account also praised the Nazi Party and Hitler.
Trump Doral is hosting a speaker who praised Hitler for "fighting the same people that we're trying to take down." Another speaker shared a post applauding Hitler for “warning us” about Judaism. Both will appear alongside senior Team Trump members. mediamatters.org/eric-trump/hit…
The two Hitler-promoting antisemites are Scott McKay and Charlie Ward. They are part of the ReAwaken America tour, which is headed to Trump's Miami hotel. Also speaking are Eric and Lara Trump; Peter Navarro; Michael Flynn; Kash Patel, Matt Whitaker, Devin Nunes, and Roger Stone.
Trump Doral speaker Scott McKay has also claimed Jewish people:
-routinely torture children and eat their hearts;
-created a banking system “in exchange for the child blood sacrifices”;
-orchestrated 9/11 and pres. assassinations; and
-were responsible for the OKC bombing.
