A Right-Wing Extremist Active In A Racist
Online Chat Room Has Interviewed Multiple AZ
GOP Candidates |
"Micajah Jackson,
known online by the handle “The JFK Report,”
was one of the first people sentenced
earlier this year for entering the Capitol
alongside members of the far-right extremist
group the Proud Boys." [ . . .] "Jackson is
also involved with a larger group of
far-right extremists that include local
antisemites and anti-LGBTQ provocatuers
whose group chat is rife with antisemitic
memes and praise for Nazi Germany. The
Telegram channel, which has nearly 500
members, is administered in part by Greyson
Arnold, a white nationalist pro-Nazi blogger
who was recently found by The Daily Beast to
have been being paid by the Washington state
Republican Party. The group chat, where
users share their uncensored thoughts and
vile memes, is an offshoot of Arnold’s “Pure
Politics” Telegram channel." [ . . . ] One
Republican who has sat for an interview with
Jackson is Christian Lamar, a
Republican candidate for the Arizona House
of Representatives in District 2. Lamar, who
is Black, said he has no qualms with
Jackson’s social media activity or
participation in online spaces where racism
and white supremacy are rampant." |

"On Sept. 27, 2015, a domestic violence complaint was filed that early morning against Lamar by his ex-fiancé, after the officer who responded noticed a mark on her face and the victim said Lamar punched her, per police records and the officer's testimony in court. |
|
The next month the Phoenix Municipal Court convicted him, stating that “the defendant intentionally or knowingly caused physical injury to another, a Class 1 misdemeanor” in violation of the law. |
|
He was fined, served one day in jail with four days suspended and was ordered to serve 11 months of probation. He also had to undergo counseling, enroll in a screening program and was barred from having any contact, invited or not, with the victim, nor “harm, threaten or harass” his ex-fiancé." |
