    OMG, like actual emails? Telling them they better vote for Trump or else? Emails is just taking things too far.

    Yeah, not legit.

    Did you read your link's source, or just gobble up mommabirds regurgitated propaganda without a second thought?

    https://www.wuft.org/news/2020/10/2...eatening-emails-sent-to-democrats-in-florida/

    "The head of the Proud Boys in Florida said in an interview that his group was not responsible for the email threats.

    The FBI and the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office were investigating,"

    (...were investigating? Is this 'they didn't do it, so now we don't care?')

    "A computer scientist at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, Max Zinkus, examined the routing information inside one of the threatening emails and said it traced back to a computer server in Saudi Arabia. He said the email appeared to be created on a management interface common on older web servers with known software vulnerabilities that render them accessible to hackers.

    Zinkus said it’s possible the digital breadcrumbs on the emails were falsified to throw off investigators. “It’s also possible that someone compromised a device and used it to connect to this Saudi server, or compromised the Saudi server itself, or both,” said Zinkus, a doctoral student who studies security, privacy and cryptography.

    The emails were made to appear they were sent from a computer server associated with the officialproudboys.com internet address, but control over that account – which was originally created in March 2017 – was changed Monday night, according to internet records. That website was offline by Tuesday afternoon.

    The identities of those behind the officialproudboys.com address was shielded in internet records, but they used an email address with a German suffix and were customers of the company 1&1 IONOS Inc. of Chesterfield, Pennsylvania. A company spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment."

    So... hackers.

    Yup. The media spins every bad thing anyone does into a 'rightwing plot' whether the perpetrators are unknown (like in this case) or demonstrably not right wing at all (like the anarchists of the 'Wolverine Watchmen').

    Proud Boys are violent right wing thugs

    Wolverine Watchmen are violent right wing anti-government terrorists

    And then we have the right wing anti-masker that plotted to kill the Wichita Mayor

    We have TWO virus' spreading. One is violent right wing terrorism

    ...which justifies blaming them for what all the evidence suggests foreign hackers actually did?


    I dare you to demonstrate how they're 'right wing'.

    He was also a decorated emergency responder. Are all firefighters bad, too now?

    The looney in the video says he's disappointed in the lack of violence from Trump supporters. I don't know if this article is that HOOK you were looking for to insult Trumpers. Its decent, but its not brilliant. I think you can do better.
