"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." [

Lamar, a

for the

in District
2. Lamar,

qualms with

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." |
