Rep. Swalwell gets death threat from idiot radicalized by Rogan

[mcar]

that's noted Progressive* Joe Rogan, and Tucker Carlson.

Swalwell skillfully turns the tables on the loser and not only gets him to apologize but finds out his identity to turn him into law enforcement.

This is all via twitter, so I'll post what I can. It's an amazing series of messages.

A man DM’d I should be shot. For my family’s safety, I asked Twitter for help ID’ing him. When Twitter fell short (thanks for trying!) I asked the guy his name (stringing him a bit) & why he threatened me. Meet Jeremy Marshall who told me he was radicalized by Tucker Carlson.

The other person he was radicalized by was Joe Rogan.

A few notes:

— I engaged with this guy solely to learn as much as I could about his identify to share it with law enforcement.

— I do not have any family in Canada, I was trying to get information about his business.

Here is the first tweet of the messages:

1. Whaaa!?!?! Social progressive Joe Rogan?

Rogan has long been known on the left as a gateway to the alt-right. He will occasionally push back on the stupidest of the alt-right, but he definitely leans that way.

[mcar]

2. He sure got this idiot.

[Caliman73]

3. Many are not very bright.

What they lack in brain power, they make up for in confidence and willingness to become violent.

Pathetic, but potentially scary people.

[Hortensis]

10. FAUX progressive. Multi-faced mindsucker.

If a person isn't nice, if he isn't a builder and doer, if he spends far more time attacking Democrats than promoting democratic ideals, IF HE LIES AND SMEARS ANYONE, he's a toxic poseur.

[Cha]

12. Yeah that didn't go over so well..

Thank Goodness!

[Caliman73]

13. I have seen Rogan in the context of left leaning podcasters, YouTubers, etc...

Like I said in my response, there are times when the focus is on him shutting down the more extreme and stupid elements of the Alt-Right on specific topics, but ultimately the man is a privileged, White, rich guy who has some pretty messed up views on how the world works. He is way too ignorant to have the reach and popularity that he does.

I know we can't and shouldn't call out other members but yeah, that one was odd.

4. Outrageous! Swalwell has a new baby too.

[mcar]

5. I forgot he had a new baby

3 small children and he has to deal with a loser like this. SMDH

[BeckyDem]

6. Yep. They know it too!

Totally unacceptable.

[mcar]

7. What I found most interesting

is that they truly believe Swalwell or whoever else Rogan/Carlson/etc demonize are not actually human. As soon as Swalwell politely engaged him, the guy started saying, gee you seem like a really nice guy.

It is utterly bizarre.

[BeckyDem]

8. Yes. Swalwell is wonderful and really smart, and it shows how powerful people can be for good.

And how dangerous people like Carlson and his gang can be for ratings and likely will not change.

[Jedi Guy]

16. It's almost as if we're all just people at the end of the day. N/T

[mcar]

24. What's concept, right?

[tblue37]

9. Seven-year-old sure looks like Daddy!

[BeckyDem]

11. She is sooo cute!

I love the photo, adorable family.

[lapucelle]

14. Joe Rogan used to be nothing but a useful idiot, but at this point he's dangerous. N/T

[mcar]

15. He is just as dangerous as the rest of them

Even more, because seemingly sensible people think he's "progressive."

[MontanaMama]

18. Some of those who claim Rogan is a progressive

are regulars here on DU. It’s mind blowing.

[mcar]

19. Just yesterday, in fact

it is mind blowing.

[MontanaMama]

21. Indeed it was yesterday.

Bonkers.

[Hortensis]

22. He's as "progressive" as the 2016 anti-Democratic attack dogs who

hustled people into throwing progressivism under the tRump/Republican bus. The same ugly dogwhistles to appeal to the same negative emotions.

Interestingly, back then they had to be more subtle about pushing RW lies against the left. Now it's far more blatant and still sells. This joins many other signs suggesting that RW and LW anti-establishment populists are coming together. And spreading their poison through DU.

Joe Rogan Wrapped: A year of COVID-19 misinformation, right-wing myths, and anti-trans rhetoric

What you learn after 350 hours of Joe Rogan
An interview with a Media Matters researcher documenting Rogan’s views
https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/7/22821823/joe-rogan-media-matters-hot-pod-spotify-moderation

Rogan is a veritable megaphone of right-wing lies, and when he is called out for peddling dangerous rhetoric, he shields himself from any accountability by claiming he should not be considered a “respected source of information.” He has also repeatedly praised Spotify for being a safe space for him as the platform has refused to do anything to quell the misinformation and hate on his show; Rogan once told a guest that anti-trans attacks are acceptable on his show, saying, “You can say whatever you want. We’re on Spotify.”

28. According to article, in the past year he's lurched right, pretending to be an "independent

thinker" but repeating right-wing conspiracies theories, lies and hate. Where the audience and money are.

I just wonder where the would-be alliance of Right and Left anti-establishment populism thinks it's going. They all become right-wingers who'll never vote for Democrats, seems to me. What's the point? The fantasy that right-wingers will vote for progressives because of class solidarity is ridiculous.

[Hortensis]

29. Anti-ESTABLISHMENT populism. It's not an ideology, it's a destructive,

resentful passion that draws from all sides, including apolitical people too disengaged to identify right or left. Observers of the growth of authoritarian populism are very concerned.

I think the fact that Rogan can come out of hiding and show his real self, seemingly without worrying about repelling people who thought he wanted what they did, is another very ominous sign.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

17. These chuckleheads ain't too bright.

[mcar]

20. Sure aren't

[PTWB]

23. Hopefully this idiot does some hard time for the threats he made.

[betsuni]

25. K&R

[AZLD4Candidate]

26. The word is "hanged." "hung" deals with penis size.

Please, conservaturds, learn the language.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. Rogan is an asshole and his supporters are RWNJs

[calimary]

30. Just BEYOND shameful and disgusting.

Any of our law enforcers tracking these tweet posters?

[mcar]

31. I sure hope so.
