He systematically targeted Black scholars, offering bounties for evidence of plagiarism. He's make the accusation, regardless of the evidence.

Not on X, so I write about Rufo less though I am sure he is still destroying lives. On here, he usually pops up when a media actor presents him as a good faith defender or meritocracy or some such. Rufo's great gift has been to state publicly he will lie to co-opt these people and succeed.

Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel and Henry Thomas to star in Daily Wire‘s new pro-ICE movie

What happened?  

I thought that Harvey Keitel starred in too few films in recent years... and now this?

"A call sheet seen by Deadline lists Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel and Henry Thomas among the cast."
