SPLC: Trump’s Troll: Racist Internet Figure Aiding President-Elects Transition Team
Notorious Internet troll Chuck Johnson, who was banned from Twitter for requesting donations to “take out” a Black Lives Matter activist and was once called “the most hated man on the internet,” is recommending candidates to serve in President-elect Trump’s administration, including Peter Thiel.
Johnson appeared Dec. 22 (go to 1:50:20) on Libertarian blogger Stefan Molyneux’s online radio show in which he said, in addition to buying a house and “knocking up his wife,” that he had been “doing a lot of the vetting for the administration, and the Trump transition.” Forbes noted in a recent story that Johnson doesn’t have an official position, but is working behind the scenes with members of the transition team’s executive committee, including Peter Thiel.
