AB 164: Reaching Across The Aisle - What I Learned From The Far Right

Jack Posobiec is an American alt-right internet activist, conspiracy theorist, and self-described journalist, known primarily for his controversial and pro-Donald Trump comments on Twitter. Posobiec promoted the debunked Pizzagate conspiracy theory that high-ranking Democratic officials were involved in a child sex ring. He has also doubted Russian interference in the 2016 election and promoted a theory that the Democratic National Committee murdered Seth Rich in a coverup. Other conspiracy theories promoted by Posobiec include the white genocide conspiracy theory, which states that immigration from non-white majority countries, racial integration, miscegenation, low fertility rates, and abortion are being promoted in predominantly white countries to deliberately turn them minority-white and hence cause white people to become extinct through forced assimilation. Posobiec also originally praised white supremacist Richard Spencer as "indispensable" and remarked that "the media can't get enough of" him, although later distanced himself. Posobiec in 2017 led similar rallies to the Unite the Right rally. During the 2016 election, he was a special projects director of Citizens for Trump, a pro-Trump organization. For two months in 2017, he was a correspondent for The Rebel, a far-right Canada-based website. He was granted press access to the White House in April 2017, and his tweets have been promoted by former Trump campaign manager Roger Stone. Posobiec describes himself as a "Republican political operative". He has called his work "reality journalism—part investigative, part activist, part commentary", and has said: "I'm willing to break the fourth wall. I'm willing to walk into an anti-Trump march and start chanting anti-Clinton stuff—to make something happen, and then cover what happens." Will Sommer, an editor at The Hill, has said Posobiec "make[s] stuff up, relentlessly", and that "there's no one at that level."
