Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA Hires Pizzagater Known For ‘Rape Melania’ Sign Stunt

 

Charlie and Jack

Jack Posobiec, the notorious pro-Trump internet troll who made a name for himself pushing the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, has been hired by Turning Point USA, the conservative youth group run by Charlie Kirk.

Posobiec rocketed to social media fame as a relentless proponent of Pizzagate, a bizarre theory that claimed Hillary Clinton and her allies ran a child sex-trafficking ring out of D.C.’s Comet Ping Pong.

He also worked on Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. After Trump was elected president, Posobiec reportedly attended a protest with a sign that read “RAPE MELANIA” in an effort to smear the protestors. Under the Trump administration, Posobiec attended a few White House press briefings.

Posobiec was, as of recently, a correspondent and host for One America News Network, a fringe pro-Trump outlet that fully embraced his conspiracy theories about the 2020 election being stolen.

Posobiec has now joined right-wing website Human Events as an editor. In a press release, Human Events said he was also joining Turning Point USA, where he will be hosting a show on a new platform launching TBD.
