</div><div><b>David Neiwert&nbsp;</b>and Daily Kos November 21, 2021</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div>The exultation on right-wing social media following Kyle Rittenhouse's acquittal has been sickeningly predictable: Mainstream conservatives loudly valorize Rittenhouse as a "hero," while more extremist voices, applying the same logic, demand that more Americans follow his footsteps—urging the likeminded to take to the street now to begin using guns to "<b>be like Kyle." They have even appropriated his name for their future plans, voiced in numerous celebratory threads: Any leftist protester shot by a right-wing "patriot" henceforth will have been "Rittenhoused."</b></div><div>
</div><div>As we forecasted, the acquittal is now a beacon-like green light granting permission to violent right-wing extremists to openly wage the kind of "civil war" against "the left"—which ranges from liberal Democrats like Joe Biden to the "antifa" bogeyman they have concocted—that they have been fantasizing about for the past decade. In the words of Charlie Kirk's interlocutor, it's the signal that now they "get to use the guns."</div><div>
</div><div><b>The bloodlust has been palpable. Online trolls celebrated that "it's Open Season on<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">&nbsp;pedo-commies</span>"</b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">&nbsp;and boasted that the verdict means "there's nothing you can do about it." A neo-Nazi channel on Twitter urged readers to "let this win fuel your rage." A fan of pseudo-journalist Andy Ngo commented in a retweet: "Every one of these anarchist criminal&nbsp;<b>thugs&nbsp;</b>should be shot in the street like the worthless&nbsp;<b>dogs&nbsp;</b>they are."</span></div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Far-right maven Ann Coulter posted a meme showing a gantlet of [marvel nazi nerd wet dr]&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>comic-book superheroes bowing to Rittenhouse</b>. On&nbsp;<b>Facebook, Ben Shapiro</b>&nbsp;framed any future violence as being left-wing: "The Left accepting the verdict in a peaceable manner remains the sizable elephant in the room.</span>"</div><div>
</div><div><b>The white-nationalist site VDare also extolled Rittenhouse's heroism:</b></div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">This much is true: Kyle Rittenhouse is the hero we've been waiting for throughout the turbulent summer of 2020, where a Black Lives Matter/Antifa/<b>Bolshevik revolution</b>&nbsp;has our country on the brink of total chaos.</span></div><div>
</div><div>[Coulter-RittenhouseMeme.jpeg]</div><div>
</div><div>Matt Walsh of the&nbsp;<b>Daily Wire</b>&nbsp;blamed the media for there even having been a trial:</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The verdict is right and just but Kyle Rittenhouse never should have been on trial at all. Now the<b>&nbsp;media will go to work, like the demons&nbsp;</b>they are, to ensure that Kenosha burns because they did not get their blood sacrifice.</span></div><div>Walsh then added:</div><div>
</div><div><b>I hope Rittenhouse bankrupts all of you dirtbags in media who smeared him as a white supremacist. [sue for libel based on verdict? // charlottesville ~ KKK case finished ]</b>&nbsp;I hope he ruins your life. I want you to suffer. It's what you deserve. It's justice.</div><div><b>
</b></div><div><b>Idaho legislator Tammy Nichols, a Republican, posted a meme featuring the Gadsden-flag "Don't Tread On Me" design, but with a graphic of Rittenhouse firing from a seated position as he did in Kenosha.</b></div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">The Gun Owners of America (GOA)—a gun-rights extremist group headed by far-right militia figure Larry Pratt—joined in the celebration by announcing it was giving Rittenhouse a new gun.</span></div><div>
</div><div>Alert: GOA will be awarding Kyle Rittenhouse with an AR-15 for his defense of gun rights in America. Join us in saying THANK YOU to Kyle Rittenhouse for being a<b>&nbsp;warrior for gun&nbsp;<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">rights</span>&nbsp;and self defense rights</b>&nbsp;across the country!</div><div>
</div><div>Other "<b>Patriot" Movement</b>&nbsp;extremists saw the verdict as vindication for vigilantism and militia organizing. The "Washougal Moms," a militia-friendly group from eastern Washington state, opined:</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Today the jury and legal system has reaffirmed our&nbsp;<b>rights</b>&nbsp;as citizens. The&nbsp;<b>second amendment&nbsp;</b>in all aspects, to form a</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">&nbsp;well regulated militia</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">, the right to bear arms in self defense, and</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">&nbsp;against&nbsp;<b>enemies&nbsp;</b>both foreign and&nbsp;<b>domestic</b>!</span></div><div>
</div><div>Kurt Schlichter, the right-wing troll with over 380,000 followers, taunted MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan, who had expressed concern about the double racial standard that the verdict reflects, on Twitter.</div><div>
</div><div><b>Your pain delights me</b>. Kyle Rittenhouse killed two leftist<b>&nbsp;catspaws&nbsp;</b>and bisected the bicep of another and t<b>here's nothing you can do about it.</b></div><div><b>
</b></div><div>A white-nationalist Twitter account called "Based Teutonic" celebrated the verdict by posting a fantasy that Rittenhouse would now embark on an&nbsp;<b>action-hero-like mission</b>—with the help of Judge Bruce Schroeder, who oversaw the trial in markedly biased fashion.</div><div>
</div><div>About to exit court room</div><div>Judge yells from behind:</div><div>Rittenhouse turns around</div><div>You forgot this</div><div>Tosses him his AR15</div><div>Credits roll, Eye of the Tiger plays</div><div>
</div><div>"Based Teutonic" wasn't alone in celebrating Schroeder's role in the verdict. On Telegram, a commenter in a&nbsp;<b>Proud Boys channel</b>&nbsp;observed:</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Kyle's case shows how important is to have your guys in power on a local level. One vaguely conservative boomer judge made all of the difference in a monumental trial.</span></div><div>
</div><div><b>Other Proud Boys were more focused on their long-anticipated civil war. "There's still a chance for this country," wrote one. Another wrote: "The left wont stop until their bodies get stacked up like cord wood."</b></div><div>
</div><div><b>The Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights</b>&nbsp;<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">monitored a number of far-right chat forums (particularly Telegram) following the verdict, and found an outpouring of extremist bile, much of it anticipating the ability to inflict lethal violence on "leftists," as well as Black&nbsp;<b>"parasites"</b>&nbsp;and, of course<b>, Jewish people</b>. A user called The Western Chauvinist commented: "The&nbsp;</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">parasites</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">&nbsp;are planning multiple 'protests' across the United States."</span></div><div>
</div><div>One user calling himself "Proud Boy To Fascist Pipeline" replied to one of these comments mocking Black leaders protesting the verdict as&nbsp;<b>"parasites</b>": "Your 17 year olds are already armed and terrorizing our neighborhoods, n----er."</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Fittingly, Charlie Kirk fans—following the example of his Idaho audience member—were focused on the violence: "Arm up and tell them fcking bring it!" one replied to predictions of leftist protests after the verdict. "Shoot these phukers," commented another.</span></div><div>
</div><div><b>Nick Fuentes' "Groypers" were also unbridled in their anticipation of gunning down their opponents. "The most American thing you can do is<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">&nbsp;Killing Commies,"</span>&nbsp;opined one on the white-nationalist forum Gab</b>.</div><div>
</div><div><b>Another Gab user exulted with a meme showing Joaquin Phoenix as&nbsp;<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">The Joker, dancing:&nbsp;</span>"When you find out it's officially Open Season on pedo-commies.</b>"<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">&nbsp;Mocking "wannabe street thugs upset with the verdict," another Gab user replied, "you're gonna get Rittenhouse'd. Bitch."</span></div><div>
</div><div>Gab-OpenSeason.png</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>"Getting Rittenhoused" became a popular way of threatening leftists. After Ngo posted a handful of tweets from leftists angry about the verdict, hundreds of his fans piled on, making threats of violence against them. "Someone will Rittenhouse them too," one responded. Another replied: "I came here to say that!"</div><div><b>
</b></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"><b>Antisemitism also was a common theme.</b>&nbsp;Right-wing troll Keith Woods, who has 23,500 followers on Twitter, declared after the verdict: "Huge L for the Jews." His followers piled on; one responded with a GIF meme of Gollum and the text, "Curse you goyim." Another replied, "hopefully they take an L in Charlottsville trial too. WHITE BOY WINTER!"</span></div><div>
</div><div>White nationalist Eric Striker was more explicitly antisemitic, as well as strategic, in his commentary:</div><div>
</div><div><b>Beating the Jews to the narrative as incidents unfold is more important than anything that happens in court.</b></div><div>Once you frame a story with the facts (and the facts have to be 100% accurate) and disseminate it with an effective propaganda network, Jews will struggle to challenge it once it's cemented.</div><div>
</div><div>Notorious white nationalist and antisemite Mike "Enoch" Peinovich put out a statement through his National Justice Party: "This victory for Kyle Rittenhouse over the&nbsp;<b>cosmopolitan elite forces</b>&nbsp;that plague the nation isn't only a victory for the young man himself, it's a victory for justice and for&nbsp;<b>all White people who take a stand,"</b>&nbsp;Peinovich said.</div><div>
</div><div>On Telegram, a white nationalist commented: "The victory of Kyle Rittenhouse over the<b>&nbsp;jewish forces that plague the nation</b>&nbsp;isn't just a victory for the man himself, it's a victory for justice, and for the masses of disenfranchised White people which populate the globe.</div><div>
</div><div>The neo-Nazi group White Lives Matter had this advice for its white-supremacist followers:</div><div>
</div><div><b>Don't let this one victory lull you back to sleep. That's what they want. They know small "victories" can placate the angry masses more than anything else. Instead let this win fuel your rage.&nbsp;</b>Never forget the simple fact that this clear-cut self-defense should never have gone to trial in the first place.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">&nbsp;</span><b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Muslim, Hispanic, and African invaders&nbsp;</span>have raped millions of our women, WHITE women.&nbsp;</b>Their time of<b>&nbsp;terror</b>izing our People with 0 consequences is coming to an end.

</b></div><div>"This might be interpreted across the far right as a type of permission slip to do this kind of thing or to seek out altercations in this way, believing that there is a potential that they won't face serious consequences for it," Jared Holt of the&nbsp;<b>Digital Forensic Research Lab at the Atlantic Council</b>&nbsp;told NPR.&nbsp;<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">"I worry that that might end up being interpreted by some people as a proof of concept of this idea that you can actually go out and seek a 'self-defense situation,' and you'll be cheered as a hero for it."</span></div></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></div></div></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">blk female student thugswarmed when elected to student gov't? at ivy league now in boden admin? civil KKK suit ~ charlottesville indiv and groups 10 21 trms</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) recently shed light on the damaging effects of Fox News host Tucker Carlson's rhetoric. On Thursday, October 21, the Democratic lawmaker took to Twitter with an audio clip of a Trump supporter attacking him for his remarks praising the U.S. Capitol Police officer who killed Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt.</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></div><div>
</div><div>With the disturbing audio clip, Swalwell discussed what he describes as "<b>the Tucker Carlson effect. "Listen to this. It's the Tucker Carlson effect," Swalwell explained. "Tucker attacks me. His fans respond with threats to kill my family. And Tucker knows exactly what he's doing."</b></div><div>
</div><div>The unnamed man leveled a disturbing verbal attack toward the California lawmaker in a&nbsp;<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">lethal, racist rant. "Here's some intelligence motherfucker. They just showed you on Fox News on Tucker Carlson saying Babbitt,<b>&nbsp;that unarmed veteran, that white woman that was shot by a cop...

</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">"You people are a disgrace to God, our country, and our people. You are the enemies of the United States people, motherfucker<b>. You atheist, Communist faggots are the threat to our democracy, our Constitution, and our way of life,</b>" he said.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">
</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">The irate man went on and seemed to level a threat toward Swalwell and his family as he concluded with praises to former President Donald Trump. He added, "<b>As for these foreign invaders you're lettin' into this country, I hope they chop you, your family up and feed them to their dogs. You did you fucking bitch. There's your free speech for today, asshole, from Trump Nation</b>!"</span></div><div>
</div><div>Almost immediately after Swalwell shared the audio clip, Twitter users quickly sounded off. With a link to a similar case, former federal prosecutor Chris Alberto quickly noted that these types of verbal threats are considered a violation of federal law.</div><div>
</div><div>"These threats against Mr. Swalwell & his family violates federal law," Alberto wrote. "The [FBI] should visit this guy ASAP. While expressing disagreement and nonviolent dissent are protected speech, threats of violence fall into the scope of federal criminal statutes."</div><div>

</div><div><b>It’s Back: After 2019 Outrage, American Priority Festival and Conference 2020 Promises Golf Tournament—and a Who’s Who of Far-Right Speakers</b></div><div>By Kristen Doerer | September 15, 2020&nbsp;</div><div>
</div><div>Simona Papadopoulos (left) poses with her husband George Papadopoulos (center) and another model after her bathing suit fashion show at the American Priority Festival and Conference. Screenshot of Simona Papadopoulos' since deleted tweet.]</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">At last year’s American Priority Festival and Conference, a macabre video that superimposed President Donald Trump’s face on a figure shooting the president’s perceived political opponents in a mass killing spree, reported on by The New York Times, caused outrage. This year, the AMP festival, unhindered by the global coronavirus pandemic, will feature a who’s who of right-wing and far-right speakers, all gathered together at the Trump National Doral Miami Oct. 8-11.</span></div><div>
</div><div>The “YUGE lineup”—their words, not ours—includes returning speakers, such as far-right Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, convicted felon Roger Stone, whose sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump, and far-right activist and One America News Network figure Jack Posobiec, who pushed the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, according to an organizer’s email Monday.</div><div>
</div><div>Anti-Muslim activist and right-wing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer will also return to the stage. After winning the GOP nomination to represent Florida’s 21st Congressional District in the U.S. House in August, Loomer received Trump’s congratulations as she rubbed shoulders with a series of far-right figures at her victory party. Failed congressional candidate and QAnon conspiracy theorist DeAnna Lorraine, who recently accused Trump of “taking his base for granted” by wearing a mask, is another featured speaker. (We’ll see how many COVID-19 cases come out of this year’s festival.)&nbsp;</div><div>
</div><div><b>George Papadopoulos—</b>who went to federal prison for making false statements to FBI agents about the timing of his contact with Russian intermediaries in 2016—will return to Trump Doral as well. Last year, Papadopolous spoke on an “Unmasking the Russian Hoax” panel, while his wife Simona Papadopolous held a swimsuit fashion show during the pool party portion of the festival.&nbsp;</div><div>
</div><div>Described as “Four days of God, country, and MAGA at the spectacular Trump National Doral resort in Miami, FL,” the conference promises “everything you could want in a patriot event.” And in case that description doesn’t excite you, the email promotes a golf tournament for an additional cost, a “MAGA pool party”—which no doubt means more patriotic swimsuits—and even spa deals:</div><div>
</div><div><b>AMP is also hosting a celebrity golf tournament&nbsp;</b>on the world-famous Blue Monster course with net proceeds benefiting the American Priority Foundation! Come play golf with some of the most patriotic names in sports, TV, and politics. Tournament entry is $500 and available as an option when you register. This makes a great gift for those golf fans!</div><div>
</div><div>AMP is also hosting a screening of Dinesh D’Souza’s blockbuster new film ‘Trump Card’, shooting a music video for a brand new patriot anthem by Alex Jordan, kicking off with a MAGA pool party, and hosting many surprise special guests.</div><div>
</div><div>The festival and conference was conceived as a pro-Trump, millennial-focused alternative to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference held in Washington, D.C., by<b>&nbsp;Ali Alexander, a right-wing political operative, and Alex Phillips, a conservative donor who owns a small telecom company in Virginia. Alexander—who previously went by Ali Akbar</b>&nbsp;and who has ties to far-right figures such as Unite the Right white supremacist attendee Matt Colligan—has recently floated the idea of revamping a 2018 effort discredit mail-in voting ahead of the 2020 presidential election, dispatching Trump supporters to places where ballots are being counted?. Posobiec, who helped announce the first AMP festival in 2018, also promoted Alexander’s latest ploy to discredit mail-in voting.&nbsp;</div><div>
</div><div>The first AMP festival, held in 2018 in Washington, D.C., was effectively a flop, with one speaker even canceling after seeing the dismal turnout. Last year’s event, held in Doral, managed to attract more attendees but&nbsp;<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">not quite the millennial and Gen Z crowd that was intended.</span>&nbsp;Though younger conservatives were in attendance, the event attracted plenty of Generation X and baby boomer attendees, featuring such groups as the graying “Bikers for Trump.” Millennial MAGA stars were featured, including the Deplorable Choir, Ricky Rebel, a singer-songwriter known for being unapologetically both pro-Trump and gay, and right-wing activist Scott Presler.</div><div>
</div><div>It also ironically prevented reporters from covering its events—centered around the concept of free speech and the First Amendment—by allowing only “invited” media, barring Right Wing Watch’s Jared Holt from entry. In 2018, Alexander had explained the “invite only” policy this way: “Frankly, any press reporter who writes a hit piece on us is not getting a press credential.”</div><div>
</div><div>An Aug. 7 email promises panels with “<b>leading experts on Medical Tyranny, Tech Censorship, Educational Freedom, The China Threat, Pandemic Response</b>, and much more!” Last year, speakers peddled conspiracy theories and called for civil war. After coverage of the events and the crude video by the New York Times, ProPublica, and other outlets, AMP temporarily took down its page.</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">As Right Wing Watch reported last year, “The conference could have been dismissed as a meeting of the fringe, but big-ticket speakers like Don Trump Jr. and Sarah Huckabee Sanders lent legitimacy to the conference, as did more respectable Republican groups like the&nbsp;<b>Leadership Institute, which held a series of trainings in side rooms.</b></span><b>”</b>&nbsp;While AMP 2020 has yet to secure high-profile Trump administration or Trump family speakers, its location at the Trump Doral and the degree of coziness Trump has gotten with such formerly fringe figures say enough.</div><div>=</div><div><br style="font-family: " times="Times" new="New" roman="Roman" font-size="font-size" large="large" /></div></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">=</font></div><div><a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/what-we-found-in-three-years-of-documenting-hate-an-open-letter-to-our-partners"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">https://www.propublica.org/article/what-we-found-in-three-years-of-documenting-hate-an-open-letter-to-our-partners</font></a></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
