Attention seeking nazis on the ground at the TP-USA #SAS2022 convention in Tampa.

Right-wing media already working up their “fed / op” narrative but this crowd from the Goyim Defense League and National Socialist Movement are real and well known to anti-fascists.

Who has info?

Video from right-wing press covering the convention.

A more up close video of these very real Nazis using the TPUSA #SAS2022 convention as their stage to promote their ideas to an audience they see as receptive. 🤔

This is the same crowd in Orlando waving swastikas outside of Disney and on overpasses a month or two ago.

Here’s the old guy: “The ADL Center on Extremism (COE) has identified him, with a high degree of certainty, as 74-year-old veteran David Howard Wydner, who has a significant history of antisemitic stunts.”

Do you know this nazi holding a DeSantis sign at Tampa #SAS2022 TPUSA conference? Let’s give him the sunshine he deserves. 🔥🔥

Orange shirt, tan pants, skull mask and blue 2A ball cap. Here is at a different time but without his mask.

Let’s not forget the white nationalist adjacent and far-right disinformation pushers like Jack Posobiec who will be ON STAGE today at TPUSA’s #SAS2022 convention in Tampa.

Yesterday at the #SAS2022 TPUSA convention in Tampa, it appears there were two *different* groups of Nazi.

This group appears to be new has matching red shirts and white bandanas with “NSZ.” Note the Nazi Germany battle flag and a Sonnenrad (Black Sun) flag.

The group may have links to WLM, White Lives Matter.

If you’re still wondering what all these Nazis have to do with TPUSA and the increasing merger/mainstreaming of far-right politics in the GOP, this should give you some clues.

The gap between DeSantis, TPUSA, Orban and fringe Nazi groups is closer than you think.

UPDATE: Meet one of the Nazi flag waving groups at the #SAS2022 TPUSA convention in Tamp yesterday.

National Socialist Florida is an off shoot of the Goyim Defense League (the other Nazi group in black). Member Josh Nunes has already been exposed by anti-fascist researchers.

Josh Nunes of Jacksonville, FL was identified as being there with NSF waving Nazi flags outside the TPUSA #SAS2022 convention in Tampa.

He was previously ID’d by @WhiteRoseAFA and lost his job. Who’s next?

And hello to Edwin (an admin) and “SmolFash” … looks like you both may have been there too! 👋👋

Are you ready for your lives to become a living hell? We’ve helped make this happen for a long list of your friends.

And is it any wonder fringe nazis are attracted to these large conservative events when figures like DeSantis are constantly playing to the far-right?

This video was filmed by white nationalist Chris Nelson as he was surrounded by Miami Proud Boys and M4L.

Also among the Nazis at #SAS2022 TPUSA convention in Tampa…

We are fairly confident that this individual is Christopher Semok aka Christopher LaBlanc — who has been previously identified as a member of Goyim Defense League (the group in black) and Patriot Front. 👋👋

Christopher was previously ID’d by @AntifaGarfield and @afainatl in part from leaked internal documents from the neo-Nazi group Patriot Front.

We now believe he’s living in the Orlando area but it’s not going to go well for him. More soon! 🤺🤖🔥

Now that we examined the neo-Nazis outside the @TPUSA #SAS2022 Tampa convention, let’s meet their suit & tie wearing cousins who were *inside* the convention.

Get familiar with terms like “groypers,” the figure Nick Fuentes and groups like American Virtue.

Also important to note: fascist GOP entryist groups like the groypers and American Virtue include GOP elected officials like central Florida’s Anthony Sabatini … who is fav of Miami’s far-right groups like Moms for Liberty.

It’s gonna get a lot worse for them very soon. 🔥🔥🔥
