The Washington Post reports:
Trump administration officials at the Pentagon invited a far-right activist, Jack Posobiec, to participate in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s first trip overseas, triggering alarm among U.S. defense officials worried about the military being dragged into partisan warfare.
News of Posobiec’s invitation circulated among U.S. officials in Washington and in Europe ahead of Hegseth’s visit this week to Germany, Belgium and Poland. Posobiec’s history of extreme rhetoric includes promoting the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory that Democrats were running a satanic child-abuse ring.
Last year, Posobiec’s speech at CPAC went viral. “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely,” Posobiec said. “We didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.”

Posobiec, widely considered to be the primary promoter of QAnon Pizzagate batshittery, appeared here in January 2024 when a Michigan state rep was stripped of his committees for sharing a racist meme posted by Posobiec.
In February 2024, Posobiec appeared on Charlie Kirk’s podcast where the pair agreed that children should watch televised executions.
In 2023, Posobiec led prayers in Latin as a Catholic mob protested the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at Dodger Stadium. He also posted a fake photo claiming that God had punished the Dodgers by flooding the stadium.
In 2020, Posobiec appeared on JMG when he claimed that Black Lives Matter activists had placed pipe bombs on the National Mall, a claim DC police said was false.
The following month the SPLC published a lengthy report linking Posobiec to white supremacist groups and neo-Nazis. Posobiec occasionally works a host for OAN.
He first gained national headlines when he and Laura Loomer disrupted a Shakespeare play in Central Park and is perhaps most infamous for infiltrating an anti-Trump rally and holding up a “RAPE MELANIA” sign.
