These Desperate Far-Right Grifters Are Trying to Recruit a Militia
A collective of far-right media figures have launched a militia—and like any serious militarized group of extremist quacks, they’re recruiting on Instagram, according to a new report from researchers at media watchdog Media Matters for America.Dubbed “North American Patriot and Liberty Militia,” or “NAPALM” for short, the group is led by people whose names you’re better off not remembering, such as white supremacist conspiracy theorist Stew Peters, who, between naps in the tanning bed, spends his days screaming at a camera that “Jews control media” and “diversity isn’t America’s strength” while directing his viewers to buy guns.In a segment about protests against anti-abortion churches, far right propagandist Stew Peters directly tells his audience “if you don’t have a gun, get a gun. If you have guns, get more guns.”This is incitement. pic.twitter.com/d71aNdqZYy— Talia Jane ❤️
