‘Black Insurrectionist’ was white among other deceptions

"Black Insurrectionist," the anonymous social media persona behind some of the most widely circulated conspiracy theories about the 2024 election, can be traced to a man from upstate New York. He's also white.

With a profile photo of a Black soldier and the tagline "I FOLLOW BACK TRUE PATRIOTS," the account on the platform X amassed more than 300,000 followers while posting dubious claims about Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Some were amplified by former President Donald Trump, his running mate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, and their Republican allies in Congress. The most salacious claims have come in the closing weeks of the campaign.

Last month, the account posted what Black Insurrectionist claimed was an affidavit from an ABC News employee, alleging Harris was given questions in advance of the network's debate with Trump--which ABC News vigorously disputed. Trump approved, though, declaring, "I love the person." More recently, Black Insurrectionist posted a baseless claim alleging inappropriate behavior between Walz and a student decades ago, a falsehood that U.S. intelligence officials said sprang from a Russian disinformation campaign.

I've been upstate New York, saw lots of fascist bumper stickers on the cars, and brownshirt paramilitary magazines aplenty for sale in gas stations

A fake black person? Was this really Kamala?
