The SPLC’s Hatewatch reports:
A collection of radical right figures including white nationalists and ultranationalist European leaders gathered in Manhattan for the New York Young Republicans Club’s (NYYRC) annual gala Saturday night, where that group’s president declared “total war” on perceived enemies.
“We want to cross the Rubicon. We want total war. We must be prepared to do battle in every arena. In the media. In the courtroom. At the ballot box. And in the streets,” NYYRC president Gavin Wax declared to a room full of supporters.
“This is the only language the left understands. The language of pure and unadulterated power,” Wax added. Republican speakers repeatedly voiced an anti-democracy, authoritarian ideology, and extremists in the audience cheered wildly.
Read the full article. There’s much more, including an accounting of MTG’s claim that if she and Steve Bannon had planned the attack on the US Capitol, “we would have won, not to mention, it would’ve been armed.”
The piece also notes that Hatewatch reporters were swarmed and shoved by acolytes of notorious Pizzagate troll, Jack Posobiec.
Gavin Wax first appeared on JMG when he declared, “We are all Proud Boys now.”
The NYYRC gala in Manhattan featured a global gang of extremists in black tie, including American white nationalists. Some speakers called for “war.”

Going to throw some photos on this thread. Here’s Steve Bannon with Peter and Lydia Brimelow from VDARE.

Here’s some core NYYRC members.
Lucian Wintrich, let go from gateway pundit for white nationalist ties.
Vish Burra, he threw us out and got physical with me. (Long after we got what we needed.)
