Far-right figure Tommy Robinson posted online a few days ago an interview with Texas Railroad Commission GOP candidate Bo French, where French told Robinson that Muslims are on a "civilizational jihad" & thus "we have to ban Islam." Robinson in turn lauded French for his "bravery."

New: Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio said he's in "a lot of group chats" with "the J6 community" & "a lot of them want to use this money to start some type of political act," like "run for office" Tarrio also thought many would "spend their money on firearms." www.mediamatters.org/january-6-in...

Trump's now amplified QAnon-promoting accounts on Truth Social at least 1,100 times. He's amplified "SpiritualStreetfighter" — the account he amplified the "Q" image from — at least 39 times (the main account & its spinoff account). About 14 of those amplifications were of explicit QAnon imagery.

New: Prominent election denier Patrick Byrne said on a podcast that he hopes "there's a few shekels for me" from Trump's weaponization fund. www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

Yesterday, on the podcast for MAHA Action, an organization closely tied to RFK Jr., Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said "thank God I didn't get my kids vaccinated" & that she was on anti-vax figure Peter McCullough's "protocol for the vaccine detox for the COVID vaccine."

New: Founder of election denial group True the Vote said she hopes it'll "see some level of compensation” from Trump's weaponization fund: "If we could find a way to have legal bills or those types of things considered, in all of this, that would be great too." www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio elaborated on his podcast about this, saying "leftists should be scared that a bunch of J6ers are gonna get money," saying that they'd use the money in "the political realm" "against your leftist causes," including "into a political campaign of some of these J6ers."

New: Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio on his podcast said "every J6er needs to be able to get some type of funds” from Trump's weaponization money: "As long as the disbursements happen and they're, you know, considerable, I'm OK with it." www.mediamatters.org/january-6-in...

During a new podcast interview, election denier Seth Keshel claimed that his Substack "lands in the inbox of a lot of very important decision makers out there, including many in the White House."

In a recently aired interview on a QAnon-affiliated podcast, Chris Clem, who briefly served as a senior advisor under RFK Jr. at HHS (www.politico.com/news/2025/02...), suggested that the moon landings of the 1960s & 1970s were faked (they weren't).

In a podcast interview on Friday, Tina Peters' colleague & QAnon figure Juan O. Savin claimed that Peters' apology —which she apparently issued as a condition for Colorado Gov. Jared Polis to allow her early release from prison — was "under duress."

Earlier this week, Tina Peters' attorney Peter Ticktin — who's also represented Trump — went on Steve Bannon's podcast & urged the Trump administration to "go in there & get" Peters from prison with U.S. Marshals by the end of May, saying he'd "talked to people in" the DOJ about the idea.

Judy Mikovits, the main figure of 2020's viral "Plandemic" video, falsely connected people infected with hantavirus to COVID vaccines, just a month after falsely claiming the Sandy Hook victims died from vaccines (bsky.app/profile/alka...). This woman got millions of views on social media in 2020.

Right-wing & far-right figures on podcasts & social media are spreading "plandemic" conspiracy theories about the hantavirus — & they sound very similar to those from during the COVID pandemic. My latest:

New reporting featuring some research I've provided of influencers & anti-vax figures over the years attacking the vitamin K shot.

New reporting links a “meaningful portion” of the 700 newborn deaths in 2024 from brain bleeds to skepticism of the vitamin K shot. Influencers have been fearmongering about it for years. From @alyssatirrell.bsky.social and me for @mmfa.bsky.social www.mediamatters.org/propublica/n...

QAnon figure Jacob Creech (known online as "Clandestine"), known for popularizing online the false Ukrainian biolabs conspiracy theory, has now claimed Tulsi Gabbard "helped me get in contact with a specific lawyer, that you all would recognize & also now works for the Trump administration."

On a far-right podcast a few days ago, Peter Ticktin, who has served as Trump's attorney, said that "if [Trump] has a problem at all, it's a little too much empathy."

Background here on the Venezuela election fraud conspiracy theory & some of the figures who are connected to these "whistleblowers." It includes Patrick Byrne, who attended the now-well known December 2020 Trump meeting with Michael Flynn & Sidney Powell. www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

Jenny Beth Martin — a podcaster & the president of Tea Party Patriots, which was was listed as a “coalition partner” of a January 6 “Stop the Steal” rally — suggested during a rally later aired on her podcast that she played a role in the creation of the SAVE Act. My latest:

On a right-wing podcast's "election integrity call" yesterday, election denier Marly Hornik said her group is investigating Mamdani's election for supposed fraud "in conjunction with individuals inside of the [DOJ] system" so the DOJ could "make either civil or criminal arguments using this data."

In a new presentation, election denier Douglas Frank predicted regarding potential GOP midterm losses, "Do you think [Trump's] going to let that stand? Do you think he's going to let himself be impeached again? No way. He's just going to say, 'Here's the foreign interference,' & nullify it."

Jason Bartlett, one of the white South African refugees under Trump, went on white nationalist Patrick Casey's podcast, where he said Trump let in "white Christians in who are like-minded & the same as Americans," & said Biden "invited them in & encouraged them to change your values & my values."

On whites-only community Return to the Land's podcast yesterday, the community's leader, Eric Orwoll, said that Christopher Alan Pohlhaus, the leader of the neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe, had visited Return to the Land, calling Pohlhaus a "great guy" whose "heart is in the right place."

A QAnon influencer in response to Trump's latest amplification of a QAnon image: "By dropping the exact Q signal directly from the President of the United States, now multiple time, he has now given MASSIVE, UNDENIABLE CREDIBILITY to every single Q post, every drop, & the entire operation."

Eventbrite has allowed the promotion & registration for a Florida event from election denier Seth Keshel for his new election denial book. This is despite Eventbrite's rules explicitly prohibiting "content intended to delegitimize election results on the basis of false or misleading claims."

It's a bit wild to see how much David Clements, a decent-sized player in the election denial movement, has gotten into QAnon over the past year or so. (Can see more evidence of this here: bsky.app/profile/alka...)

On a QAnon-affiliated podcast last night, election denier David Clements said he has "a hard time believing that we could stumble across something that's as brilliant as the Q operation & not find its roots in something that's God created."

On a right-wing podcast earlier this week, Richard Mack, the pro-Trump leader of a far-right constitutional sheriffs group, said Trump "sometimes ... gets caught up in the emotion of what he's dealing with at the time & doesn't really examine it."

This seems to be Trump's first amplification of explicit QAnon imagery from a QAnon Truth Social account since November 2025. Overall, Trump has now amplified images from Truth Social QAnon accounts featuring explicit QAnon imagery more than 2 dozen times since he began posting on Truth Social.

On a right-wing podcast yesterday, Dennis Kneale, who's appeared & written on Newsmax, suggested Epstein victims who said their abuse harmed them needed to "stop whining" & were "looking around to get attention for themselves," telling them "your life was given extra meaning."

QAnon figure Juan O. Savin has claimed "when the Q movement" began in 2017, it was "aimed at young people, young adults, even down into the teens," particularly "gamers, people that try to solve problems & work through it," & would "network to come up with answers to things" from QAnon supporters.

On a podcast last week, election denier David Clements said many people he's "talked to are ... national security clearance types" who've "closely worked in conjunction with Tulsi Gabbard & ODNI," & Trump's "messaging seems to be in lockstep with the findings that we've made" about election fraud.

Far-right figure Tommy Robinson announced in an online video that American tech mogul Robert Shillman will be donating either $100,000 or £100,000 for his upcoming rally in May in London. Robinson suggested the donation has significantly helped financial issues for the rally.

Trump now quoting posts that misattribute a letter written by New Hampshire state Rep. Fred Doucette to Clint Eastwood www.snopes.com/fact-check/c...

Yesterday, another member of Congress, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), went on this QAnon-affiliated network, going on a podcast that calls itself "DEFCON ZERQ." On the podcast, where the hosts & Burchett discussed UFOs, Burchett said it was "a complete & total honor" to be on the podcast.

Florida GOP gubernatorial candidate James Fishback last night posted an image of himself holding a hat with "Q" on it, also writing in the post "Q."

On a QAnon-affiliated podcast a few days ago, election denier David Clements said that January 6 was "the closest I've ever been to the presence of God," adding that "it was so euphoric."

This is probably the most successful 4chan /pol/ hoax of the past decade outside of QAnon — still going around years after a 4chan user made it up in December 2020 — & very few probably know about it.

During a right-wing podcast interview a few days ago, John Eastman, the attorney who aided Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, appeared to push a 2020 4chan hoax regarding Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts & the 2020 election. www.mediamatters.org/4chan/viral-...

Election deniers have for weeks targeted Texas' March 3 primaries (& a January special election in the state), baselessly claiming there's been “massive” fraud & cheating in those races. Republicans have full control of the Texas government, including its chief election officer. My latest:

Washington Post: Nick Fuentes spreads hate online. He's pocketed nearly $900,000 from “fanatical” donors since the start of 2025. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

"It’s not clear who created the A.I. accounts, and determining whether they are the product of a hired content farm, a foreign influence operation, an experiment or something else is difficult, experts said." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/b...

Among the things Kash Patel did during the time he was extensively trying to appeal to the QAnon community (2022 & 2023) was posting that he was "having a beer with @Q." (That Q account also posted about having a beer with Patel & mentioned lawsuits.) www.mediamatters.org/truth-social...

Rep. Lauren Boebert in an interview with Benny Johnson yesterday again pushed the false Frazzledrip conspiracy theory, pushing evidence-free claims that there was a specific file the video was in & officers died after supposedly seeing it. She suggested she wants to investigate the (not real) video.

At a Turning Point USA event yesterday, Vice President Vance said one of the messages in the Epstein files "sounded like the Pizzagate conspiracy theory but here it was in like an email from a guy & my reaction to that was we should absolutely investigate that person."
