When someone goes out of their way to say, I'm probably the least racist person you know, they ain't.

He uses a slang, "thots" (had to look it up), that is more modern, but also uses the older dog-whistle, "Bolsheviks". It just shows the melding of old hate, new hate, creating a toxic stew. BTW, "Bolsheviks" can be, and is often used, by white supremacists, to mean "Jews."

...His name is Garrett Ziegler, and in late 2020, he was a policy aide to then-White House trade adviser Peter Navarro. Today, Ziegler is best known for publishing emails and documents from Hunter Biden’s hard drive (and a transcribed version of Ashley Biden’s journal) on his website. But before Ziegler became a Biden family troll, he helped write “The Navarro Report,” a three-part election fraud manifesto. The first volume was, perhaps not coincidentally, released just one day before the Dec. 18 meeting.

And both because of his involvement with that report, and his help facilitating the Dec. 18 meeting, Ziegler might be able to help map Trump’s mental journey from contemplating voting machine seizures to promoting a “big protest” no one had organized...

-snip-

...Second, public reporting has long established that Ziegler played a role in the Dec. 18 meeting, even if only peripherally. It was Ziegler who let Flynn, Powell and Byrne into the Oval Office. And we know this because Ziegler himself has acknowledged this publicly, noting he did it because “he was ‘frustrated with the current counsel’” Trump was receiving and revealing that White House chief of staff Mark Meadows revoked his guest-admitting privileges as a result...


NOTE: Ziegler is not testifying tomorrow night. He's already spoken to the January 6th Committee. If he comes up in this next hearing, it will probably be a cameo via pre-recorded testimony, which the committee does so well.
