2. About a year after Bishop invested in Gab, one of Gab& #39;s users walked into a synagogue in Pittsburgh and murdered 11 people
Bishop said he had no idea that Gab allowed racism and anti-Semitism on its platform
This denial was not credible. I& #39;ll explain https://popular.info/p/white-supremacy-and-the-last-race">https://popular.info/p/white-s...

The title of that article? "Silicon Valley escalates its war on white supremacy despite free speech concerns" https://popular.info/p/white-supremacy-and-the-last-race">https://popular.info/p/white-s...

7. Whether Bishop realizes it or not, he& #39;s responding to a white supremacist mass murder w/a white supremacist meme
White supremacists refer to "liberal, non-racist society" as "clown world"
The mascot for this meme is Honkler - Pepe dressed as a clown https://popular.info/p/white-supremacy-and-the-last-race">https://popular.info/p/white-s...
