First, a reminder about this guy:
The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) on Monday released an official statement after a video went viral online showing a man in an FDNY shirt shouting at abortion-rights protesters. The department insisted that the man in the video, who shouted “Your body is mine,” does not work for them and confirmed that an investigation is underway.
“A video circulating from a protest in Manhattan over the weekend shows an individual wearing a FDNY sweatshirt,” Deputy Commissioner Frank Dwyer said in a statement. “The individual in the video is not a member of the FDNY. The comments made do not represent the views of the FDNY. The matter is under investigation.”
Yesterday it was revealed that the man is a member of the New York Young Republicans Club’s “Catholic Caucus.” But wait, there’s MUCH more. If you can bear it, read the live chat on the right as you watch the first clip.
Racist livestreamer Dalton Clodfelter interviewed a man he claims was seen in a blue “America First” hat guarding an NYC cathedral during a recent pro-choice protest. The man in the interview calls protesters “animals” and says one Black protester should be “enslaved.”

Reps. Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Green both referred to the group guarding the cathedral as “heroes.” In this video by @sandibachom, the man in the blue hat can be seen telling pro-choice protestors: “Your body is mine, and you’re having my baby.” https://t.co/eLoszCd2eq

The man interviewed by Clodfelter said essentially the same thing: “Their bodies are mine. I rule over their bodies absolutely, and they will have my children.”

The man who talked to Clodfelter indicated he’s a follower of white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who sells the blue “America First” hat with his initials NJF on the back. Clodfelter said he met the man during the conference Fuentes organized earlier this year in Florida.

I know there were attempts to identify the man over the weekend. The person being interviewed was anonymous except for his voice. He also said the firefighter jacket he wore to the cathedral was borrowed from a friend, but added that the friend was also part of the movement.

The man interviewed by Clodfelter said he’s part of a group that conducts stings on people: “We, like, catch pedophiles out here, bro.” He said the group had at least one video already online.
