Wait, who are you accusing of being in videos and pictures with neo-nazi's and/or KKK members some years ago? That seems like a very strong allegation if you're unsure.
Here is what I can say for certain: he called a white supremecist a hero on his blog.
yes yes I know yes he claims he said it was before we knew the man at Berkeley be a white supremecist. But, fun fact, he knew full well that the person MAY be a white supremecist when he wrote it, acknowledged he wasn’t sure, but felt comfortable enough to take the stance of “that person is a hero regardless” because he was angry that the woman came looking for violence against nazis.
He points out as evidence that she deserved being punched because on her Facebook she came looking for 100 nazi scalps to a “free speech event”. Note that in his addendum, he removes the word Nazis from her quote, likely to maintain that he was right to condemn her.
He calls himself a journalist (see: blog) but couldn’t wait to give his public opinion before the research was done on the white supremecist. Yeah. Like any good journalist.
She attempted violence against a white supremecist, someone he claims to hate and distance himself from, but doubles down on she deserved being hit by him because…she did exactly what she said she was going to do and went after a white supremecist.
There’s no way around it. He lauded a white supremecist. He later defended a white supremecist. He condemned someone taking action against one. He later doubled down on that same condemnation claiming there was no way for her to know that man was a white supremecist.
Mmmhm. I mean HE knew the dude could be one and admitted as such and he wasn’t even AT the event, but ok sure there’s No WaY sHe CoUlD hAvE mOrE iNfOrMaTiOn ThAn He. Mmhm. Probably cause he’s a journalist.
Whatever. He can say he condemns those types of people (white supremecist) all he wants. And maybe he believes that’s true. Certainly his defenders believe it to be true.
But he will happy cheer when an anti-nazi is punched in the face for confronting a white supremecist and he will march alongside a neo nazi, just as long as the nazi doesn’t ask him to do nazi things.
one thing I want clear: this is all information from his blog. This isn’t me regurgitating someone else’s interpretation as fact. These are his words and his actions alone
