Rumble Star Stew Peters: 'Shoot Catholic Charities Workers'
Rumble host and X influencer Stew Peters calls for shooting Catholic Charities workers.
It's not so much that Stew Peters routinely calls for violence, as it is that Twitter/X, The Republican Party, and others completely normalize this behavior as just another political position.
Media Matters notes that
X has been monetizing Peters' account and placed an ad for the Philadelphia Eagles on Peters' post featuring video of him calling for violence....
Peters is a white nationalist and antisemite who calls for the murders of his perceived enemies. He streams on Rumble, where he has more than 500,000 followers.... He recently praised Rumble after The Guardian reported that the Republican National Committee-backed platform allows him to post extremism, writing: “Rumble held the line and did NOT cave, staying true to their commitment to FREE SPEECH.”
He also has a verified account on X (formerly Twitter) with more than 448,000 followers and uses that account to endorse the killings of politicians and LGBTQ advocates.
Despite Peters’ background, numerous Republican politicians have appeared on his show, including U.S. Reps. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Bob Good (R-VA), Pete Sessions (R-TX), and Andy Biggs (R-AZ); Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers; and U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake. Robert F. Kennedy Jr also appeared on his show before he ran for president. Peters spoke at the ReAwaken America tour in Las Vegas this summer along with Donald Trump Jr., Lara Trump, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Michael Flynn, among others.
And now he apparently thinks killing nuns who help refugees is a great idea.
STEW PETERS: These people cross into Mexico and coach illegals on how to get admitted here. They pay for their bus tickets to the cities that you and I live in. They get dumped into apartments, all expenses paid. They get taught how to sign up for every single welfare program that our country has to offer. And then they get cuts of taxpayer money, our dollars, for a service. These are these, you know, not-for-profit charities. Catholic Charities is a very good example.
A lot of people say that we need troops on the border who will shoot the people trying to sneak across. I agree. They're invading our country. The military's sole function is to protect its country from a physical invasion and to protect you and I and the people that I love and the people that you love from any harm that might come as a result of her invasion. The only place our military is absent is in that job. No. We need troops on the border that will shoot people that are trying to invade our country.
That'd be a good first step. But you know what a better second step would be? Shooting everyone involved with these fake charities.
Catholic Charities is no great prize when it comes to, for instance, gay adoption. But shooting them?
Does Catholic Charities have a lawyer or two who could sue this guy for his threats? Our broken media environment seems to have no other solution but lawsuits via people with very deep pockets and lots of patience.
