How libertarian Parler CEO married Russian before founding platform
John Matze founded Parler in 2018 as a 'free-speech driven' alternative to mainstream platforms. The self described libertarian soon began courting right-leaning users as prominent supporters of Donald Trump moved there.
And Parler had been the leading candidate for the president to continuing voicing his opinion, at least until Google and Apple removed it from their app stores and Amazon decided to boot it off its web hosting service Sunday.
Not much it known about Matze's personal life but he is reported to have married Russian Alina Mukhutdinova after the pair are said to have met in Las Vegas.
She was said to have been on a two week road trip around the United States, TED Talk host Dave Troy reported in November.
Alina's Instagram pictures show the couple have at least one child. In one picture she hold rifles and wears a t-shirt which reads: 'Trust me, I'm a Russian spy.'

Yeah, no it's not.
Rope in the Mercers and Cambridge Analytica and he's merely a convenient front man. A useful idiot. Just like Trump.

attended by Kremlin officials. When they came back to the US they started Parler. When Parler first started a bunch of security experts like Chris Vickery were trying to figure out the financing.

We have a division problem in this country. These billioniares enjoy toying with the stability of our government.
Accountability for all, including those investing monitarily in Domestic terrorism.
