White Nationalist Platform Gains a New Cast of FarRight Characters
"In October 2021, white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who had managed to get kicked off all mainstream social media sites as well as loosely moderated streaming sites, launched Cozy TV. The new streaming network would be explicitly “anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-Black, antisemitic,” he said.
Fast forward to today, and a host of familiar far-right names have joined the network in the past week alone: Roger Stone, Trump confidant and dirty trickster; Ali Alexander, the leader of the movement promising to “stop the steal” after Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election; and Laura Loomer, a two-time failed congressional candidate and self-declared proud Islamophobe.
While each now has a channel on the network, it’s unclear whether they will offer any original content there. Stone streamed his “The Stone Zone” show on the channel last night, as well as on Mike Lindell’s Frank Speech Platform. This follows the pattern of other streamers on the network, including radical conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who streams the same content he offers Cozy TV on his conspiracy theory network InfoWars. Though Jones has been welcomed back to more mainstream right-wing media like Fox, Jones was broadly deplatformed from mainstream sites after he falsely claimed the parents of the slain children at Sandy Hook were paid actors, leading to their harassment; he was recently ordered to pay $965 million for his lies."
