Anti-Semitism

On August 20, 2017, Boepple retweeted a tweet that said: “The red pill is hard because after 600 ‘holocaust’ movies you become subconsciously reluctant to put jews under objective analysis.”

On August 19, 2017, Boepple tweeted: “This just in: CNN digs up jewish garbage from a post war propaganda trash heap, more at 7:00.” His comment was in response to a CNN tweet that read: “This 1947 educational film, viewed millions of times on FB, warns against the spread of white nationalism in the US.”

On that same day, Boepple also tweeted “Same s**t --- Still Jewish.” and “Racial slurs are ok if you're not white, especially okay if you're a Jew.”

Boepple has tweeted and retweeted the anti-Semitic “echoes” trope that puts three parentheses around a (((name))) to indicate the person is a Jew or part of some nefarious Jewish conspiracy.

On August 12, 2017, Boepple retweeted a tweet from white nationalist leader David Duke that read: “‘Peaceful counter protesters’ - (((FAKE NEWS))).”

On August 7, 2017, Boepple tweeted: “What's good for (((them))) is bad for you :^).”

On August 4, 2017, Boepple tweeted: “antisemitism no longer means you are anti-semitic, it means you're on the Jewish s**tlist. Case in point.”

On August 2, 2017, Boepple retweeted a tweet from Duke that read: “Jewish Supremacists believe equal rights for White Americans is ‘White Supremacism.’ Just so you understand their definition #WhiteGenocide.”

Spreading Neo-Nazi Ideology

On August 20, 2017, Boepple retweeted a tweet with an excerpt from Mein Kampf from the neo-Nazi Twitter user @Third_Position.

On August 9, 2017, Boepple tweeted: “National Socialism shatters the left-right dichotomy does it not? I may have to pick this book up.” He was tweeting about a book titled “National-Socialism — The Biological Worldview and National Socialism — a Left-Wing Movement. Two classic theoretical works in one. Povl H. Riis-Knudsen.”

Povl H. Riis-Knudsen is a famous Danish neo-Nazi known for these two works.  

On August 5, 2017, Boepple retweeted a tweet of a graphic featuring Hitler and Nazi soldiers in three separate images.

The first image showed Hitler addressing a crowd and read: “If you love your country, you are a national.” The second showed Hitler with a young boy and read: “If you love your people, you are a socialist.” The third image showed Hitler and Nazi soldiers and read: “National Socialist!”

The tweet said “Are You a National Socialist?” and came from the Twitter user @NS_Norway who goes by “National Socialist” and has a swastika for a Twitter avatar.

On July 31, 2017, Boepple retweeted a tweet that said: “OLYMPIC GAMES 1936 in BERLIN. Aug,15. American tourist Carla de Vries wanted to kiss Hitler ‘Because he was so friendly and sympathetic’ #NS.” The hashtag “#NS” means National Socialism.

On July 29, 2017, Boepple retweeted a tweet from the Twitter user @AltRightArt showing Nazi SS officers and a white woman and baby, with the text: “This is high-tier expression of White racial identity. Building a future towards the Higher Frontier.”

Eulogizing a Holocaust Denier

On August 7, 2017, Boepple tweeted a photo of Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel on the day of Zundel’s death, stating: “Rest in peace Ernst Zundel. You defended yourself from a merciless system simply to try and bring dialogue to a historical event. #ripzundel.”

Later that day, Boepple tweeted: “RIP. Zundel was an incredibly eloquent individual.”

White Nationalist Rally at UVA

On August 11, 2017, Boepple attended a march at the University of Virginia (UVA) that featured Nazi chants. White nationalists carried torches — reminiscent of Ku Klux Klan (KKK) cross burnings — and chanted “You will not replace us.” Some marchers were reported to have also chanted “Jew will not replace us!” and chanted “one people, one nation, end immigration!”

The march ended with several marchers using their torches as weapons against counter-protesters. Police then shut down the event, declaring it an “unlawful assembly.” Following the violence, marchers chanted “White Lives Matter!” and “Anti-White!” at the counter-protesters.

Marchers also chanted “Blood and Soil!” — an English variation of a popular Nazi-era German chant “blut und boden.” Multiple marchers made Nazi salutes and the chant “sieg heil” was reportedly heard.

Demonizing Israel

On August 24, 2017, Boepple tweeted: “This will be necessary as soon as the UN also condemns the genocide of whites in South Africa  and Israel for what they do to Palestine.”

On August 22, 2017, Boepple tweeted: “The Jewish ADL is a hate group. Go look at what they say and do to the Palestinians. White phosphorus being used on children, with love.” 

On July 25, 2017, Boepple retweeted a tweet that read: “This is not an edgy post. I literally don't care if you're offended by the fact that I don't feel bad for dead Israelis. Not my problem.”
