        Nit-picking.

          I’m still confused. So is this guy still a neo nazi? I.E., was a falsely accused of being a fed, AND a neo nazi? Or just of being a fed.

          Because I won’t begrudge the leopard of eating a neo nazi face.

            My understanding is that he’s completely unrelated to all of it and was misidentified as someone else. Says he has debit cards receipts showing he was in a different state at the time.

            He’s Jewish. And unaffiliated with the feds. He just graduated college.

      But others dismissed the reality of far-right violence by falsely claiming members of the neo-Nazi group were actually federal agents. That included Musk, who amplified the false conspiracy that Brody was the man in the mask, then later suggested Brody was part of a “false flag situation,” in a post on X ― previously called Twitter ― that remains up today.
