Hatewatch has reported out those connections in detail. Here is a summary of them:</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b><i>Met with Krystof Bosak of the hard-right Ruch Nardowy party (RN)</i></b>&nbsp;in July 2017, around the same time&nbsp;<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Trump gave a nativist speech authored by Stephen Miller in Warsaw.</span>&nbsp;Bosak has called Posobiec his “friend.”</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">RN’s president Robert Winnicki has made antisemitic comments, like saying “the Jews will not get a penny from us,” referring to a U.S. bill seeking restitutions for Holocaust survivors.</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Even under Poland’s right-wing government, Bosak is considered a fringe figure. He has publicly questioned whether Earth really revolves around the sun.</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Posobiec has cited Bosak’s commentary about the antifa movement, calling the protest movement a “terror network.”</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In April 2017, Posobiec amplified to Twitter video and images of an event staged by Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny (ONR), a group with a long history of emulating Nazism. Today’s ONR finds its roots in an earlier iteration of the group that in the 1930s bombed Jewish people’s homes to “cleanse” the Polish population.</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Posobiec marched in the 2018 Polish independence march. Marchers chanted “white Poland” that day, according to news reports. Both ONR and the white nationalist Molyneux marched. England’s Hope Not Hate published a photo of Posobiec in the crowd, along with other hate figures.</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Posobiec has associated since at least 2018 with a Polish man named Wojciech Pawelczyk. The antiracist group Never Again found Pawelczyk making an antisemitic comment on a hard-right, Polish-speaking forum in 2020. Never Again, a Polish group, collaborated with SPLC’s Hatewatch to uncover Posobiec’s connections to extremists in that country.</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Pawelczyk has posted photos of himself with Posobiec and claimed to help operate his social media accounts.</font></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Back to top</font></div></div>
