I have often mentioned how many of these “Patriots” and “constitutionalists” are in fact scam artists. Here’s another one.

Bunny was one of the far-right sheriffs who met with Jeff Sessions and other senators to bash Obama’s immigration policies in December 2014.

There was a group of “Patriots” who came to D.C. that day to support the sheriffs. While the meeting with Sessions et al was taking place, these characters were protesting outside the White House demanding the president be lynched.

I decided to delete this tweet because (a) enough readers provided me with evidence to persuade me that the Sunshine folks have indeed protested Republicans, and (b) my concerns about the politics of attacking allies were off in this case.
I still have a lot of reservations about how some progressives sometimes conduct their politics -- longtime readers know I have zero patience for faux progressives who focus all their efforts on attacking Democrats while ignoring or even bolstering Trump (koff greenwald koff).
And Sunshine has indulged this tendency somewhat. But in this instance, I don't think that was what was happening here.

OK, just to keep ourselves from going mental today, here’s a thread of whales from around the world.

First, some whale music to play while scrolling.

1) As someone who has spent the past four years covering the spread of white-nationalist violence in America, both at protests and in terrorist acts, the notion that these groups are “illusory” is not just absurd, it’s obscene. Thread follows.
2) Let’s discuss terrorism first, because that in many ways is where white nationalism hits home the hardest. There is no question that during Trump’s tenure, the lid has been taken off and the demons have flown out. Data doesn’t lie. Propagandists do.

3) Claiming the threat of these groups is “illusory,” an “invention,” or “nonexistent” is an obscene insult to the memory of the dozens who have died at their hands, and to the thousands they have traumatized along the way: in Pittsburgh, El Paso, Christchurch, and more.

Yeah, let’s have an open font of dangerous far-right disinformation moderate a presidential debate. That’s the ticket.
I'm sure @ggreenwald would somehow find this not disqualifying, because who cares about spreading volatile extremist garbage when you have a chance to trash traditional journalists, amirite?
Here's more on the 'antifa arsonists':

Lots of folks to acknowledge for their help and advice on this one, as well as providing the groundwork for me to cite. Here's an incomplete list.

Here are links to buy it online. Of course, I always urge folks to support their local bookstore if they can.
