Far-Right Threats Fuel Fears of Violence at Upcoming Protests
Ahead of this weekend’s “No Kings” protests, far-right groups are disseminating violent messages and personal information about organizers across social media platforms like Telegram and X. These messages, including memes promoting violence and anti-immigrant sentiment, are raising concerns among extremism experts who fear they could incite lone-wolf attacks. The alarming rhetoric coincides with President Trump’s denial of any kingly aspirations and the recent release of former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio. Experts warn of a precarious situation, highlighting the concerning convergence of far-right messaging and mainstream media attention.
