Altho the influencers all describe themselves as “independent journalists”, they all frame leftwing protesters as nefarious or ridiculous in their videos, & eight of the 11 are current of former employees of Turning Point USA, the conservative advocacy organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk.

Who are the rightwing influencers filling Trump’s head with visions of antifa?

Meet the content creators whose videos from Portland and Chicago shape the president’s distorted view of reality

Kids do edgy things like saying "I love Hitler." Just ignore it.

Oh, also, my admin is getting people fired and pulling their visas for saying mean things about Charlie Kirk.

Someone should ask Vance why its only the shitheads who support him who get to be "edgy"
