As he attempts to strong arm the House Committee on Intelligence, I thought folks should know Acting Director of National Intelligence, @RichardGrenell is a member of a private dm group filled w/ alt-light grifters, qanon proponents, snake oil peddlers, and Fox News contributors.
The "secret" DM group, aptly named "MAGA Verified," was created by @MichaelCoudrey, an alt-right adjacent consultant who recently became central in pushing a dubious narrative surrounding Hydroxychloroquine as a miracle treatment for #Covid19 patients, amplified by Trump himself.
This "secret" DM group is one of about a half dozen similar influential MAGA echo chambers wherein Trump sycophants, admin b-listers, and alt-right protagonists cross pollinate with and signal boost each other.
It's hard to imagine that Acting Director of National Intelligence, @RichardGrenell would be in a private DM chat group with an Infowars correspondent but that's exactly who @Millie__Weaver is—seen here embedded with members of the murderous Vanguard America in Charlottesville.
The new right has indeed demoralized our institutions, but it feels like a new low when @RichardGrenell, the head of the US' spy agencies, is in a DM group controlled by an admin who cooks up Hydroxychloroquine content and spends his evenings paling around with literal Neo Nazis.
Worth noting that @RichardGrenell is not the only Trump Admin official in the group. Trump 2020 Sr. Advisor @KatrinaPierson, former WH Strategist Andrew @Surabees Surabian, Mr. "Death Star" Brad @Parscale, and "i don't wanna go to jail" consultant @ArthurSchwartz are also members
.@MichaelCoudrey's "MAGA Verified" DM group is just one example of popular social platforms being used to amplify a dangerous cocktail of #Covid19 misinformation, q-type conspiracies, and far-right Trump propaganda. It's just uniquely shameful that our acting DNI is a part of it.
