Do we know anything about the white nationalist group that claimed Nicholas Cruz as a member?

Doesn't it seem that we've had more of these events since DT took office?

1. Jordan Jereb, head of the Republic of Florida white supremacist losers, claimed an association

with Cruz, saying that he had driven to Tallahassee to train with the other losers...but he walked his claim back within a day or two, and that was the end of that.

It wasn’t hard to get ahold of Jereb; he’s directly reachable via the hotline on ROF’s website. “The individual you’re calling about — and I know why you’re calling — was affiliated with the Clearwater of ROF militia,” Jereb told VICE News.

But by the end of day Thursday, Jereb was walking it back. “There was a legit misunderstanding because we have MULTIPLE people named Nicholas in ROF,” Jereb wrote on Gab, a social media platform that people use when they’re too racist for Twitter. “I got a bunch of conflicting information and I have not slept for like 2 days”

Jereb went on insist that the media had misrepresented what he said. “Are you really going to blame ME for the lying jew media? We know they are liars. Fuck em.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center put out a statement on Thursday afternoon saying that they’d been unable to identify any links between ROF and Cruz. “It may seem odd that Jereb would bring attention to his group by claiming a connection to Cruz, but Jereb has always been somewhat of a publicity seeker,” wrote SPLC. “In 2014, in fact, he wrote to us to complaint that we had not already listed ROF as a hate group.”

2. He quickly realized that claiming a mass murderer of high school kids as one of his own...

was not a brilliant idea.

But thankfully you can bet his brief flirtation with fame has drawn the attention of law enforcement to him and his group.

The stupid is thick in that group, The Republic of Florida.

But that's to be expected. You have to be stupid to be a racist.

5. He's studied Trump. Talk shit, deny it, blame media, and wrap a racial slur around the whole package

6. Translation: A lawyer clued me in about the potential lawsuits...
