Never forget that after the racists gunned down Ahmaud Arbery, Andy Ngo used his platform minimize the murder and apparently try and make it appear justified:
The Daily Dot fortunately wrote it up. It mentions another far-right grifter who likes to dabble in anti-Black racism, Cassandra Fairbanks: dailydot.com/debug/conserva…
We’re still learning details about the murder suspect in Waukesha but it’s critical to remember these things when considering: 1) what character of person throws narratives on a breaking story and 2) why they do it.
Same pair compared Waukesha to Charlottesville hours apart:
Infowars' longtime IT Director Michael Zimmermann snatched up domains like "tarrantmanifesto dot com" (referring to the Christchurch killer) and "shooter chan dot com" from Epik, the hack shows.
Rob Monster of Epik also hired Zimmermann for his own team. This should put his "who what me" responses to questions about white supremacy under more scrutiny.
Russia Insider founder Charles Bausman involved himself in Pennsylvania-based Stop the Steal activism and then took his act to Washington D.C. on Jan 6.
Then he disappeared, leaving the Christmas lights still hanging from his home.
Our press really noticed Posobiec for the first time days after Unite the Right when Trump retweeted his effort to divert attention to Chicago violence.
.@Twitter gave far-right extremists the platform they needed to plan an attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, and the website will enable politically motivated violence again in the future if it isn't reformed.
This was a hard one to put together because of the size. There is more to report from here.
Among other things, @Twitter verified and promoted the extremists who abused their platform to hype Pizzagate.
The fifth anniversary is looming and so I also spoke to James Alefantis of Comet Ping Pong about how they marketed them at his expense: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021…
They dispatched goons to DC last summer during the George Floyd protests. The goons pretended to be VICE Canada reporters and told demonstrators to ID themselves on their stream.
