Unbelievable. And apparently not "newsworthy" at all.

According to a post by Ron Filipkowski on twitter, white supremists joined Lara Trump on a boat rally. They were recorded yelling heil Trump and White Power. They were wearing shirts emblazoned with swastikas. Again, there is video of this. Remember when the media actually reacted to Nazis in Charlottsville? Now it's just another day and not worth talking about.

Corporate media: Yawn. We don't like the precise makeup of the interviews that Harris is doing.

I caught a few seconds of cable just now, and the "journalist" was going on and on about how "Harris isn't getting her message put." OK, but somehow you think it is newsworthy to get the message out that she isn't getting her message out? Crazy.

news folk don't know how ridiculous it sounds when they say the candidate hasn't gotten their message out. I'm sure they get daily, probably hourly, news releases from the campaign, and scores of campaign staff available to appear on their shows to get their message out, but they act like it's all pig latin, that they can't decipher.

MAGA fan drenches Nazi as Swastika-adorned vessel tries to join Trump boat parade

A boat displaying swastikas and Donald Trump flags was prevented from joining a parade honoring the former president over the weekend in Florida.

Social media users posted photos of the boat attempting to take part in the parade Sunday in Jupiter, not far from the Republican nominee's residence at Mar-a-Lago, and videos show Trump supporters on another boat using their engine to splash the vessel with the swastika flags, reported Newsweek.

The extremist watchdog account StopAntismemitism identified one of the men on board as "known antisemite Jon Minadeo II" and others from the neo-Nazi group Goyim Defense League.

Video of the boat who sprayed them at link:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/maga-fan-drenches-nazi-as-swastika-adorned-vessel-tries-to-join-trump-boat-parade/ar-AA1sfieE

So who is Jon Minadeo II?

But the decamping of Jon Minadeo Jr. from his former Sonoma County home is something very different. The low-profile Minadeo may be the most prolific anti-Semitic Jew hater in America. He’s taken his “Goyim Defense League” (GDL) and its associated “Goyim TV” to Florida, where he hopes to be more welcome than he lately was here.

Although his family owns a Sonoma County restaurant, he has said he left because his reputation was diminished there by coverage from local news organizations that spurred threats to burn down his house.

https://www.vcstar.com/story/opinion/2023/02/13/california-wont-miss-this-departure-of-anti-semitic-resident/69899718007/

Anyway, nothing about Lara Trump.

I read this morning that these cretins had been "hosed down" or something and kicked out of the lovely and delightful parade of fools, so when I later saw they joined miss lara rump, I thought mmmm, I dunno...

Thanks so much for this clarifying report!!!

I read the name of it, somewhere - maybe on the wiki page about him. He's of Mexican descent but the family's restaurant is Italian. It's sounds like his family is done with him and they're probably glad he moved away.

Minadeo grew up in northern California, Novato, where he lived with his mother in various apartments. He dropped out of Novato High School in the early 2000s and later received a GED. He worked at his grandmother's restaurant, Dinucci’s Italian Dinners, in Valley Ford. His family has a Mexican-American background. Sources claim that there was a rupture in his family and that he has rarely held a steady job since leaving the restaurant. In a March 2022 interview with the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, Minadeo claimed that he does some construction work and that he'd "probably have to leave Petaluma because things are growing so uncomfortable for him." In late December 2022, Minadeo and his girlfriend Kelly Johnson moved to Florida. Johnson, a yoga instructor, had been fired from two yoga studios in the Bay Area in March 2022 for her connections with Minadeo and for increasingly bigoted comments.

--snip--

In September 2022, Minadeo was arrested in Poland under hate speech laws after he and Robert Wilson demonstrated in front of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp; his swastika necklace and computer were confiscated. While in Poland, Minadeo filmed himself accosting a South Asian tourist on the sidewalk for four minutes, using racial stereotypes, accusing him of invading Europe, and telling him to return to India. Minadeo was arrested on June 26, 2023 for disorderly conduct and public disturbance at Temple Beth Israel in downtown Macon, Georgia during an antisemitic protest he organized.

In November 2023, Minadeo was sentenced to 30 days in jail after being convicted of throwing anti-Semitic pamphlets from his truck. He was tried on a charge of littering, which carried a maximum sentence of 30 days.

By turning their backs pretending they do not see this festering anti-American hate movement and it's clearly fascist totalitarian aims, the media is signaling a complete, corrupted sell-out of their souls.

Selling out your soul has consequences. As experience will demonstrate.

A reminder that Trump has not led in any national poll in over a month. Only 4 of 48 national polls in the past month have shown the race tied. Harris has led 44 of the last 48 national polls.

CNN has been led down a trail that does not equate. Both networks have election analysts that are totally full of shit. Enten and Kornacki. Change the channel.
