An extremist group that marched in Springfield, Ohio, and demonized Haitian immigrants saw Trump’s mention of baseless rumors at the debate as a victory: “This is what real power looks like.”
The day after the presidential debate at which former President Donald Trump spread a false story about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, Christopher Pohlhaus, leader of the national neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe, took to his Telegram channel to take credit.
Pohlhaus, a Marine-turned-tattoo artist known as “Hammer” to his hundreds of followers, wrote Blood Tribe had “pushed Springfield into the public consciousness.”
Members of his hate group agreed. “The president is talking about it now,” a member wrote on Gab, a Twitter-like service popular with extremists. “This is what real power looks like.”
I hate Ohio Nazis
This was posted to Lemmy yesterday, I watched it, and it’s relevance just keeps relevancing!
Before Trump, neo-Nazis pushed
I don’t understand the distinction.
It’s the same picture.
Yup the man who has a chance to become president has literal Nazies giving him talking points… Trump also keeps a book of Hitler speeches in his nightstand. You know for some light reading before bed. Dude also told a 4 star general that Hitler had some good ideas
I love how the insane clown posse (ICP) was “a loosely organized hybrid gang” in a 2011 report by the FBI. Juggalos (ICP fans) have reported being denied housing, fired from jobs, arrested and given harsher sentences and being threatened to have their kids removed.
Christopher Pohlhaus however is allow to harass drag shows, openly march and chant racist shit in different towns, and nothing happens.
I love how we protect racist but go after everyone else, especially if they are associated with rap.
