| Troll spotted with two Republican lawmakers. |
Most Americans fault Donald J. Trump and the Republicans for the gridlock in Washington, DC.
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) and Rep. Phil Roe (R-TN) were caught on camera with the infamous alt-white agitator Charles C. Johnson (Chuck Johnson).
Johnson (not to be confused with Little Green Footballs progressive blogger Charles Johnson) is an internet provocateur, yellow journalist and kookspiracy nut. He has often won praise from the likes of alt-white celebrities Richard Spencer, Milo Yiannopolos, Tomi Lahren, Laura Loomer and Alex Jones.
Johnson was best known for his website that I will not mention. He was trying to expose Black Lives Matter. He made the claim that Shaun King, prominent Black Lives Matter activist and agitator was not authentically Black.
He got banned indefinitely from Twitter and Facebook after threatening DeRay McKesson online.
Johnson has been described as an internet troll, and has been involved in the proliferation and spread of multiple fake news stories.
The fool got his business shutdown after he made allegations that the white terrorist who killed Heather Heyer in Charlottesville wasn't the one. He pinned the blame on two individuals who had nothing to do with it.
The Southern Poverty Law Center which follows this troll said that he tried to blame Joel and Jerome Vangheluwe for the death. The two men got death threats and harassment.
The fool was forced to shelf out a lengthy sum to those slandered.
Now as for Roe and Harris, no comment to why they have a well-documented Holocaust denier and white extremist associated with them.
Roe released a statement trying to act like he didn't know this guy.
"At the request of another member, Congressman Roe agreed to meet with an individual to discuss DNA sequencing. During the meeting this individual shared what seemed like legitimate information about the work his company is doing and advocated for increasing the number of sequenced genomes for research. Congressman Roe was not aware of this individual's viewpoints nor were they discussed during their brief meeting, and had the congressman been aware he would not have agreed to take the meeting. White supremacist and anti-Semitic views are abhorrent and have no place in our society."
Harris also released a statement.
"I am unaware of his previous associations, but we had a discussion involving his business with genetic sequencing,” the statement read. “Of course I disavow and condemn white supremacy and anti-semitism."
See two can play this game.
You go after Rashida Tliab and Ilhan Omar, expect us to go after you. We are no longer going to allow the right to distract us from the real threat in this country.
Far right extremism is growing and Donald J. Trump and allies are making it possible. We have to hold Congress accountable for the laws they pass. I don't really care what they say.
We know the Republican Party is the party of the White nationalist. That's a fact. We just have to keep pressure on them by boycotting them, exposing them, and voting their asses out in the general election.
It's simple. You can do it.
