While many icons of the alt-right are white washing their history now, it's important to remember who they actually are.
Let's start with the almost always sited Jack Posobiec.
Some highlights of this joker
He planted a sign in an attempt to make democratic protesters look bad.

"In a phone call with BuzzFeed News, Posobiec denied that the texts were sent by him and said that it was likely they had been photoshopped. He also denied having any involvement in the campaign.
BuzzFeed News reviewed the texts on a source's iPhone in Signal, the secure texting app, and the Signal messages allegedly from Posobiec came from the same phone number on which BuzzFeed News talked to Posobiec."
Of course it's worth noting that like many of the alt-right favorites he was a Pizzagater. He's attempted to distance himself from the movement saying he never really believed it he just happened to live all around it

This delicate snowflake also alleged that Disney changed scenes in Rogue One to be Anti-Trump and called for a boycott. Cancel culture amirite?

I think what may be the best is when he and the usual suspects suggested that Antifa derailed a train in Washington

"On Monday, some of the usual conspiracy theory suspects—conservative media personality Mike Cernovich, President Donald Trump mega-fan Jack Posobiec, the far-right website Gateway Pundit and Alex Jones’s InfoWars—all brought up antifa in the context of a fatal train derailment in Washington state, and they did so before investigators had even announced any formal explanation for the crash.
"What we know about the derailment is that more than a dozen cars of an Amtrak train jumped the tracks, injuring scores of people and killing an unknown number of others near Dupont, an area south of Tacoma, Washington. What we don’t know is what caused the accident, though right-wing pundits were pushing out insinuations before a death toll could be established."
While not the boy talked about here, there is this gem in there
"Newsweek asked Cernovich why he felt it was important to talk about “antifa” in the context of this train incident. He wrote in response that “ANTIFA groups shouldn’t pour concrete on train tracks”; however there is no proof they did. He said that the derailment could be an accident, poor infrastructure, “antifa” or “ISIS.” (The Islamic State militant group has also been blamed for the accident on the imageboard site 8chan, and other sites that traffic in conspiracy theories.) Trump himself cited poor infrastructure as a national issue in the aftermath of the derailment, and declined to name any other potential causes."
I could go on. I won't. I'll leave this thorough investigation into him instead.
