The Jan. 6 defendant has gained celebrity status in the white nationalist world for his livestream antics during the Trump era. Before filming himself inside the Capitol riot, he livestreamed from the infamous torch-lit march in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 chanting, “You will not replace us.” Since moving from Arizona to a rental house near Clearwater, he’s hosted a parade of antisemitic and racist livestreamers who spread fear and hate on the internet as their followers respond with donations. His arrival overlaps with a larger increase of hate-related incidents and growing extremism in Florida over the past few years. | | | | | | | Get the latest sports coverage from the Times | | For updates and analysis on the Bucs, Lightning, Rays, Florida college teams and more, follow the Tampa Bay Times sports crew on social media. | | | | | | TODAY'S TALKER | | | [Courtesy of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency] | | Remains of a St. Petersburg WWII pilot have been identified — 77 years later | | Newell Franklin Mills Jr. was shot down by Nazi fighters in 1945, then buried in a nameless grave.
