A man who calls himself the “Black Insurrectionist” posted some of the most widely circulated conspiracy theories to his 300,000 followers on Xhitter, including the claim that there was an affidavit from an ABC News employee alleging vice president Harris was given questions in advance of the network’s debate with Trump.

The “Black Insurrectionist” also posted a baseless claim alleging inappropriate behavior between Walz and a student decades ago which made the rounds on social media and turned out to be Russian disinformation.

While neither claim was true, that didn't stop Trump THEE Fascist from proclaiming: “I love the person.”

And, of course, the “Black Insurrectionist,” despite having a profile photo of a Black soldier and the tagline “I FOLLOW BACK TRUE PATRIOTS,” is actually a white man.

The reach that the Black Insurrectionist account attained with assistance from Trump and his allies demonstrates the ease with which unverified information from dubious sources can metastasize online to shape public opinion. The speed and scale of disinformation has been an animating force in the presidential campaign, with the potential to affect the outcome in a close election.

The Black Insurrectionist account is linked directly to Jason G. Palmer, who has his own questionable backstory, starting with the fact that he isn’t Black, according to an Associated Press review of public records, open source data and interviews with a half-dozen people who interacted closely with Palmer over the past two decades. The records and personal accounts offer a portrait of an individual who has repeatedly been accused of defrauding business partners and lenders, has struggled with drug addiction and whose home was raided by the FBI over a decade ago. He also owes more than $6.7 million in back taxes to the state of New York.

Hhmmm, a white man pretending to be a Black man to get other white men angry at Black men.

Sounds familiar.

No wonder Trump loves the guy.
