During #KashPatel's #Senate confirmation hearing, Sen #DickDurbin, D-IL, asked, "Are you familiar with Mr. #StewPeters?"
"Not off the top of my head," Patel responded.
Peters disputed Patel's testimony.
"Clearly, Kash Patel is lying," he said in response to Patel's Senate testimony. "He absolutely does know who I am."
A spokesperson for the #FBI declined to comment.
Ingrassia, Cauley & Martin are not the only #Trump admin officials connected to #antisemitic #extremists.
Before becoming #FBI director, #KashPatel appeared 8 separate times on a podcast hosted by #FarRight #ConspiracyTheorist #StewPeters, who promotes #HolocaustDenial. Peters posted a photo of himself holding #Hitler's #MeinKampf w/the message "visionary leadership." In recent days, he attacked the founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, w/antisemitic vitriol.
"White nationalist pundit Stew Peters is no stranger to offensive commentary, but on a recent episode of his eponymous podcast, he openly called for the deportation of all Jews from the United States — even going so far as to echo Nazi rhetoric by calling it a 'final solution.'
Peters’ notable controversies in recent years include getting kicked off Spotify and Apple Podcasts after he peddled Covid-19 conspiracy theories and participated in a white nationalist conference held by Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. He’s embraced the 'Great Replacement' conspiracy theory, claimed the Titan sub disaster was 'actually a ploy' to hide a conspiracy about why the Titanic sunk, and called for the execution of journalists, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, among others."
#DickDurbin, the top Dem on the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, pressed #KashPatel on appearances he made on a podcast hosted by #StewPeters. Peters has often expressed #antisemitic & #WhiteNationalist views.
Pressed by Durbin about why he has associated w/so many #extremists & #ConspiracyTheorists, Patel claimed he went on podcasts to take on people putting out #ConspiracyTheories in order to disabuse them of their false impressions & to talk to them about the truth. A flat-out #lie.

Okay, I did write up a whole thing about the uptick in anti-Indian rhetoric among US-based white nationalists since JD Vance got the nomination. I think the writing isn't embarrassingly bad, but I might still be too sick to know (tho I am feeling a bit better today -- thanks to everyone who expressed concern!).
At any rate, Medium calls this a 7 minute read, so if you've got that, it'd be better to read the whole thing. If you don't, here's the highlights reel:
- JD Vance is married to the daughter of Indian immigrants.
- He even went to far as to produce babies with her, thereby tainting the purity of his own whiteness and that of his offspring in perpetuity.
- White nationalists like Nick Fuentes and Stew Peters are none too happy about this, and are now losing their petite minds over the "Indian takeover of American politics".
- This may be a passing thing, but it may not, and there's no reason to assume it couldn't progress from rhetoric to physical violence. (This is not to say that South Asian people aren't already subjected to violence in the US, but rather that this shift in rhetoric has the potential to augment it.)
- It is also an indication of the flimsiness of "model minority" status and the ease with which it can be revoked.
That's the gist, but there's obviously a lot more detail in the essay. Make of it what you will.

Conspiracy theorists marked the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion by resurrecting the narrative that the entire conflict is fake.
