GOP Chair Shares Racist Post by White Nationalist
Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward shared a tweet from an account rife with white racist content and conspiracy theories on Monday evening. Ward retweeted a violent video that appears to show a white child being savagely beaten by a larger boy with a darker complexion, with the caption "homeschool your children."
"Violent, hate-filled predators are loose in our public schools. And 'the system' again puts innocent children in danger," she quote-tweeted.
The original tweet came from Dan Lyman, who describes himself as a "pureblood" in his Twitter bio and has a pinned tweet of a shirtless man who appears to be him at the top of the account with the caption "White Boy Summer has officially begun."
Per the report, Lyman's Twitter feed is rife with white nationalist content, including posts promoting Holocaust-denying white supermacist Nick Fuentes.
"Pureblood" is how anti-vaxxers describe themselves.
Ward, you may recall, first earned national ridicule when she claimed that John McCain timed the revelation of his brain cancer diagnosis to hurt her ultimately failed bid for the U.S. Senate.
She is currently fighting to shield her phone records from the DOJ, who this summer subpoenaed her over her role as an Arizona fake elector.
Ward has also claimed that the Capitol riot was a false flag secretly engineered by the FBI and the so-called "deep state."
Re: Nazis Wave Swastikas at Turning Point USA Event

The Florida Holocaust Museum sharply condemned demonstrations at the Tampa Convention Center where a group of Neo Nazis waved flags with swastikas outside Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit, calling it "an indefensible act of hatred."The group distributed flyers, one of which said, "Every single aspect of abortion is Jewish." The flyers say they were distributed by the Goyim Defense League, which is an extremist terrorist organization that was responsible for at least 74 anti-semitic incidents in 2021.
Video shows a member of the group shouting, "We kicked all your n*****s' asses in Rhodesia. It was a race war in Africa between whites and blacks," at a counter-protestor.
Florida has seen a rise in fascist activity in recent months. In Orlando, the Nazi group Atomwaffen assaulted civilians during a demonstration, and a Neo Nazi group made a bomb threat in Daytona Beach.
Just a reminder, that Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Josh Hawley, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Raphael "Ted" Cruz, and Laren Boebert spoke at this Charlie Kirk event for aspiring fascist teens.
The past two years have seen a significant increase in extremist related incidents both nationwide and in the state of Florida. These incidents have been driven, in part, by widespread disinformation and conspiracy theories which have animated extremists and fueled antisemitism.
The result: unrest and violence, from the January 6th insurrection to white supremacist activity to a spike in hate crimes.
In Florida, new white supremacist groups have formed, including White Lives Matter, Sunshine State Nationalists, NatSoc Florida, and Florida Nationalists; while existing neo-Nazi and accelerationist groups have broadened their audience both online and on the ground activities.
Other extremist groups such as Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys have shifted their strategies to focus on the local level, disrupting school board meetings, and even running for political office.
From January 2020 to August 2022, the ADL Center on Extremism recorded over 400 instances of white supremacist propaganda distribution in Florida.
Ninety-five of these incidents included antisemitic language or symbols, targeted Jewish institutions, or both. Propaganda allows extremists to disseminate hateful messages, and gain attention with little risk of public exposure.
Florida is home to the most people charged in relation to the January 6th insurrection. Of the 855 individuals charged in connection to the insurrection so far, 90 (10.5%) hail from the state of Florida.

Yeah, but remember it's not a problem... 😛Problem officer?
Somehow "less than 60 deaths a year" wasn't a cause of concern, never mind all the White Nationalist/Supremacist failed attack/murder attempts the authorities stopped before anyone was killed.
But antifa is a terrorist group and cause for great concern, with their zero deaths.

You said Antifa NEVER killed anyone, are proven wrong and now try and squirm out of it with an arbitrary timeline.
Also, the media often does not report left on right murders.

I just posted a leftist murdering a right-wing ideologue with his car.
You'll of course argue he wasn't a self identified Antifa, while turning a blind eye to the fact Rob regularly paints all right wingers with a very broad brush.
Plenty of leftist ideologues on KMC. When do you plan on checking them? Maybe you can call out Adam Poe's habit of rarely citing sources?

And the killer either was self-identified Antifa or he wasn't. It's not a matter of argument. Preemptively calling me (or Rob?) a hypocrite does nothing to back up your point. Just more petty trolling.
And, again, you're not persecuted for your politics (lol), you're just reliably wrong. I think my last interaction with Adam was me disagreeing and asking him for a cite.
In this case, your own cite (wiki) undermines your conclusion. See quote above.

I was talking about a claim made by the Rightist here in this thread back in 2018, which at that time that one 2020 killing you brought up hadn't happen yet. Because that's how the time works.
Also, as already pointed out to you by Smurph: "Danielson's killing was the first time in over 26 years that a self-identified anti-fascist activist had been charged with homicide" -snip
One murder in 26 years and you want to equalize that with what the White Nationalist/Supremacist are doing in America? 😂

DeSantis Appointee Resigns After KKK Photo Emerges
Gadsden County religious leaders are demanding a local commissioner and Republican Governor Ron DeSantis "come forward" to address allegations that the commissioner resigned last Friday after a photo surfaced showing him wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood.
Jeffery Moore, a Havana resident and former Department of Revenue employee, was appointed by DeSantis in late July and abruptly resigned from the post in Florida's only predominantly Black county after the photo began circulating in the local community.
Moore, the only Republican on the five-member board, also ended his campaign for the District 2 race, which was to be decided in the November 8th general election.

Honestly, that looks like a Halloween party. If that's all that is, he shouldn't get so much shrapnel.
But I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out he is part of the KKK and that's his official KKK attire he decided to repurpose as costume for a party. He's a Republican, after all.

Costume companies do not manufacture and sell KKK regalia. At best, he had to seek out a KKK supplier for the costume. At worst, he already had it, because he is affiliated with the KKK. It being a Halloween party is the sort of distinction that does not really help him at all.
Fair enough, as I said I would not be surprised if that's his own outfit and he's a card carrying member of the KKK. Not every Republican is a KKK member, but nigh all modern KKK members are Republican or vote Republican.
But if it's strictly a Halloween thing and this can be shown, he should not be getting as much hate. It's in poor taste, sure, but poor taste is a thing in Halloween. Him abruptly quitting and DeSantis trying to swept it all under the rug is telling that it likely wasn't just a in poor taste costume.
