Parler, a conservative alternative to Twitter that has become a haven for far-right extremism of all stripes, proved to be a haven for recruitment and promotion for the Jan. 6 pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol building.
Thousands of pro-Trump extremists stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday as part of a Trump-endorsed Stop the Steal rally in Washington, D.C. But after the riot spun out of control, some on the right turned to a familiar boogeyman in search of a scapegoat: antifa.
Far-right extremists livestreamed on the fringe, youth-targeted gaming website DLive on Wednesday during an unprecedented breach of the U.S. Capitol building that left at least four people dead and others wounded. One of the extremists livestreamed on DLive from the office of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Hatewatch observed while monitoring the events.
