Media Matters reports:
Rumble host Stew Peters yesterday aired a segment calling for the executions of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce over the Kansas City tight end’s promotion of the COVID-19 vaccine. Advertising for the NFL recently appeared on Peters’ X (formerly Twitter) account, which has more than 400,000 followers.
Peters is a verified Rumble host with over 500,000 followers. The video platform, which has long been a haven for extremism, claims in its terms and conditions that “You may not post or transmit any message which is abusive, inciting violence, harassing, harmful, hateful, anti-semitic, racist or threatening.” The RNC has partnered with the platform to livestream its primary debates.
Media Matters reported yesterday that X has placed advertisements for the NFL on his account, including next to his conspiracy theory that [NFL player] Damar Hamlin actually died and is now being portrayed by an actor.
Read the full article. As I’ve previously reported, elected Republicans such as Rep. Paul Gosar and prominent right wingers such as Kari Lake and RFK Jr. continue to appear on Peters’ show despite his frequent calls to execute Democrats and scientists such as Anthony Fauci. Many other MAGA personalities have launched vicious attacks on Swift and Kelce since she appeared in the stands at his football game last week.
Travis Kelce is doing Bud Light and covid shot commercials. He needs to fire all his marketing agents. Or he needs to just go ahead and cut his dick off, become a chick, and endorse Joe Biden.
