The other day, I discussed Boston Free Speech's connections to racist/fascist groups, but so far, no one from @Boston_FS has responded. So today, I'll be talking all about their leader, @JohnnyMedlar, and his *personal* connections to bona fide hate groups. <thread>

You see, @JohnnyMedlar, the main organizer of
@Boston_FS, is a member of the Proud Boys. I'd tag the Proud Boys and their founder, Gavin McInnes, but they got kicked off Twitter a month ago. Why? For being a hate group.1 reply 5 retweets 17 likesShow this thread -
If you're new to this stuff, here's the
@SPLCenter's writeup of the Proud Boys:https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/proud-boys …1 reply 4 retweets 11 likesShow this thread -
And @JohnnyMedlar is *deep* into the Proud Boys. He's written for Proud Boy magazine. Note he uses the (((echoes))) to refer to Jews, a meme started by neo-Nazi podcast The Daily Shoah. I'd tag them, but they got kicked off Twitter for being racist. http://proudboysusa.com/racistweed/ pic.twitter.com/fzd62miqB2

He also organized a Proud Boys event for Patriots' Day 2018, at which Unite the Right 2 speaker Jovi Val was an honored guest. http://www.wickedlocal.com/news/20180329/proud-boys-plan-patriots-day-rally-in-concord …pic.twitter.com/NmOKs1t0KS

That's Jovi Val, speaker at Unite the Right 2; the blonde in sunglasses is Kathleen Snyder, co-organizer of Unite the Right 2; and dude with the goatee and ponytail is white nationalist Gabriel Brown.

What's your bit, anyway? You're some kind of Jovi Val parody account, except that your politics are exactly like Jovi's?
