VIDEO THREAD: Tonight, fans of Nick Fuentes (who was kicked out of #CPAC for anti-semitism such as praising Hitler and Holocaust denial) gathered at the Residence Inn by Marriott National Harbor to see him speak across from CPAC.

The men yelled "Groyper! Groyper!" inside the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@zdroberts

The self-proclaimed security for the "Groypers" confronted photojournalist @zdroberts by approaching him up close and falsely whining "stop assaulting me with your camera!"

The man repeatedly misidentified him as another journalist out-loud, provoking the crowd to chant at him.

@zdroberts

One of the men waiting to get into the "Groyper" rally showed off his suit to photog @zdroberts, noting that he wanted a "beautiful, 1930's style."

"What about the 1930's do you enjoy?" Zach asked him."

"Oh, all of it, especially the part where you all are dead," he replied.

Again, one of the masked "Groyper" security guards came outside and tried to put his hand into my camera while falsely saying "don't hit me with your camera please."

I laughed at him and called him fake news, which he retorted, as he continued this game.

He then tried the same… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@Marriott

Then, uniformed security and/or police came out of the Residence Inn by Marriott National Harbor as the Groyper rally took place inside and approached journalists.

"No footage!" a uniformed officer said to people standing outside. "The @Marriott doesn't want you taking… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@Marriott

Filming from outside the @Marriott, media could see masked "Groyper" rally security wearing a "YeIsRight" patch on his plate carrier using a handheld metal detector to search attendees before they could watch Nick Fuentes.

"Ye" refers to the artist formerly known as Kanye West,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@Marriott

Back at the hotel entrance, an officer approached again telling press that to photograph, they need to back up to the curb, citing private property.

Asked if that was a @Marriott request, the officer replied "that's for me to know and you to find out."

This is my full video of the exterior of the "Groyper" rally situation at the Marriott hotel across from CPAC, where Nick Fuentes and his supporters had previously been removed over the past two days.

As always, all footage available to license.

Inside the Marriott, absent press, Nick Fuentes streamed his speech.

"You know what else has got to go, in a Christian society?" he asked his audience.

"Democracy?" one in the audience replied.

"Jews?" another guessed.

"Talmudic Judaism" was his answer, to a roar of cheers.

In another clip from his livestreamed Marriott speech, Nick Fuentes says Jewish people are "half, or two thirds, or three quarters" of various institutions.

After meandering about the other portion, he concludes, "That's a long way of saying, I love Hitler!" again to cheers.

As a clarification here: When this happened, and listening back to it, I hear "Oh, all of it, especially the part where you all are dead."

Some are saying he said "aren't there" rather than "are dead" at the end.

Frankly, he slurred a little bit either way, so it's hard to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Only one year after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene speaking out alongside him, Nick Fuentes condemned her during his Marriott speech last night.

He defended his original support for her: "You gotta work with who you got," he explained.

"Slim pickins, alright? We said we loved… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

VIDEO THREAD: Pardoned J6er Jake Lang was pulled over in a U-Haul just moments before his arrival at the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan, where he had planned to burn Qurans.

Police appeared to attribute the initial pulling over to texting while driving (he was livestreaming at the time) and counter-protesters gathered as the traffic stop took place, arguing with Lang and his friend from the sidewalk.

Officers let him drive a few blocks away, where he was pulled over again (as you will see in the next tweet.)

2) Lang and his friend drove around the corner where they held bacon and Qurans out the window while pulled over by the Dearborn Police.

“Anybody hungry for a Quran sandwich?” Lang yelled as counter-protesters arrived there, held at a distance by police.

3) “F*** the Jews!” yelled an anti-Jake Lang protester, who was quickly corrected: “Zionists” his friends said.

As Jake Lang brought a giant red cross out of the U-Haul, a protester pulled up a photo of Lang kidding the western wall in Israel.

VIDEO THREAD: Armed gun owners in Virginia showed up outside the State Capitol in Richmond this afternoon to rally against new gun control measures awaiting signature from Governor Spanberger such as bans on the sale of "assault weapons" and large capacity magazines in the state.

2) Under the anticipated Virginia law, sale of 30-round magazines would be illegal beginning this summer.

Magpul donated boxes of 30-round AR-15 magazines which were distributed to the crowd for free, whose possession would theoretically be grandfathered in.

3) Police confronted a man over having a suppressor on his rifle, which they apparently isn't allowed per a new ordinance in Richmonf.

"F***ing a**holes. F*** them. Tyrants," he explained, without complying. "They can go f*** themselves. This is my American right right here."

THREAD: The suspect in today's shooting at Old Dominion University has been identified as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh.

Jalloh had been convicted of providing material support for terrorism after being in contact with ISIL and at least one FBI informant and FBI undercover agent.

2) In 2016, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh entered the FBI's radar when an FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS) was in contact with an unindicted co-conspirator (UCC1) allegedly in ISIL.

UCC1 referred CHS1 to meet with Jalloh, which the FBI surveilled.

3) Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, who allegedly killed a retired military officer during an ROTC class today, told the FBI informant in 2016 he quit the military after watching lectures by Anwar al-AuIaqi, the Islamic cleric and U.S. Citizen President Obama killed in a drone strike in 2011.

He reportedly admired Mohamed Yousef Abdulaziz, who killed 5 U.S. service members in 2015.

VIDEO THREAD: Armed gun rights activists rallied at the Virginia State Capitol on Monday to protest proposed gun measures under new Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger.

The Virginia Kekoas militia wore "Boogaloo" style attire for the first time publicly since 2023.

"All the rights, for all the people, all the time" explained the group's leader, who goes by ICE (which is not a reference to the agency of the same name). "We're just going back to our heritage, where we started."

"Things are a little bit more serious this year," explained the Kekoas member who goes by Sasquatch. "This is our unofficial battle cry!"

"I swear I'm not a swinger," he clarified, referencing the pineapples on his Hawaiian shirt.

2) "I'm generally a pretty liberal person, but when I saw videos of ICE jumping out of unmarked vehicles and nabbing people off the street, that's when I bought my first AR15," one attendee of the gun rally explained.

"We're facing tyranny right now, and I want to be prepared if that stuff comes to my neighborhood."

"Tyrannical government, whatever your take on it, that's the point of these bad boys right here," Virginia Kekoas militia member call-sign cross responded to that position, slapping the butt of his rifle.

3) The Virginia Capitol lawn was closed off to attendees carrying firearms, splitting the crowd into those carrying and not.

A man dressed as George Washington attempted to argue with police that his musket is "not a firearm" but was not allowed to pass.

VIDEO THREAD: Pardoned January 6er Jake Lang attempted to hold an anti-Muslim "Crusader March" in Minneapolis today where he was swarmed with hundreds of counter-protesters.

Scuffles broke out, and one of his members sprayed mace around the crowd.

2) Amidst "Feels like -7 F" degree temperatures, protesters sprayed Lang and his crew with water guns as well as silly string while drowning him out with music over a loudspeaker.

Lang apparently was prepared to leave, but couldn't find a path as protesters continued to physically challenge him and his group.

"Let them leave!" some protesters yelled.

3) Lang, who fought police with a baseball bat at the Capitol on January 6, was struck with a wooden stick by a counter-protester.

He grabbed it, briefly holding it up in triumph and keeping control of it until it was grabbed out of his hands.

VIDEO THREAD: Federal agents deployed tear gas, mace, and sting balls against a growing crowd at the scene Wednesday night in Minneapolis following a shooting by ICE.

Some protesters shot fireworks and threw snowballs at the agents, many of whom carried rifles.

2) Agents moved fast while trying to evade the crowd. In one case, the feds got into the bed of a truck, dropped pepper spray and had to get out to grab it before a firework was thrown at them, for which they threw tear gas in return.

3) The scale of the conflict was enormous, spanning a few blocks in each direction from the shooting, lasting a couple hours.

Protesters exchanged fireworks and tear gas on one side of the shooting scene as others engaged with police on the opposite side.
