Kai Schwemmer (aka "KaiClips") is a racist follower of neo-Nazi leader Nick Fuentes. Schwemmer has some of the more unusual ideas of the bunch, openly fantasizing about getting married and having a child so he could drink his wife's breast milk as "a reward."

Ex-Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino is fully public with his white supremacist ideology these days. His latest? He described a woman as a "HERO" after she was caught on video harassing two Muslim American women in a Texas grocery store and said they "aren't welcome in this state or this country."
Screenshot showing two posts on the social media site X.

The first, dated one day ago, is from an account with the display name "Sovereign Minds" that reads: "This woman is an American hero! Invaders need to be reminded that they are not welcome here." It includes a video that's 1 minute 38 seconds long. It shows a split screen, with one side showing a woman in blue scrubs standing in a grocery store leaning on a shopping card while harassing the Muslim women. She has light skin, brown hair and is wearing a necklace. The other side of the split screen shows a shopping cart that appears to belong to the Muslim women. A credit line below the video shows it was posted by an account called Suppressed News. According to metrics shown below the post, it has 194 replies, 877 reposts, 7,800 likes and 119,000 views.

The second post, also dated one day ago, is a reply from an account with the display name Gregory K Bovino. It reads: "The lady is a HERO." According to metrics shown below the post, it has 31 replies, 91 reposts, 2,200 likes and 10,900 views.

O’Neill also sells autographed memorabilia, including a bin Laden action figure, helmets decorated with “Make America Great Again,” 9/11, or bin Laden imagery and PSA-graded trading cards featuring Twin Towers images or swatches of O’Neill’s old military uniform.

As Armed Forces Brewing Company’s “national brand ambassador,” Robert O’Neill’s volatile conduct and bigoted comments were a source of much concern for some Norfolk community members sizing the firm up when it came to town in 2023. Seems like he’s gone on to validate their read on him.

EXCLUSIVE at the newly relaunched @informant.news: We've obtained secret documents showing that a former Navy SEAL whose testimony helped overturn a war crimes case against his platoon leader has recently joined the white supremacist group Patriot Front. www.informant.news/patriot-fron...
A composite image showing, at center, Corey Noel Scott, a white man with thinning dirty blonde hair and beard stubble wearing a black shot and smiling. The image of his face is up-close and in a circle with a light outline. Two other circles are floating in the image that read “PATRIOT FRONT MEMBER IDENTIFIED." That text is on a mock edit of a red, white and blue Patriot Front logo that crosses out their center fasces symbol with an X. Another floating image shows the red, white, and blue patch for Seal Team 7, which is a thin triangle facing downward with a large 7 in the center and the logo for the Navy on top of the 7, seven white stars are at the point of the triangle. All these images are sitting on top of a military group shot that’s faded in the background. The men in camo are holding up guns and a red, white and blue American flag and posing for the camera. Most soldiers are blocked by the various images except for one section where Corey Scott and Eddie Gallagher can be seen in sunglasses by the flag.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

There are no moderates among the Republicans, even the ones you may have hoped would have stayed moderate. This will apply more and more to far right antisemitism, as well. Although all the other racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and transphobia should have been enough to understand this.
