[2/] Luis actually did everyone a bit of a favor back in 2013. It& #39;s noted in the post below.
There& #39;s not a need to detail a 50 tweet thread of Luis& #39; racist remarks, because when he tells you he& #39;s SUPREMELY racist? Just take Luis at his word.

[3/] Luis is part of the Legion of Skanks, along with Shane Gillis & "Big Jay" Oakerson.
Remember in 2019 when Milo Yiannopolis was canceled from a venue in New York City, yet still managed to sneak into a studio to share his terrible views?
That& #39;s it (& him) below, w/ the LOS

[4/] Another thing Luis is, is SUPER violent.
Here& #39;s a Tweet to Proud Boys& #39; leader Gavin McInnes & several others from July 9th, 2018 regarding EP 370 of the Legion of Skanks.
The video is next - CONTENT WARNING.

[5/] CONTENT WARNING: Assault, language, hate.
This video clip is FAIR USE & is from an LOS podcast. You can see an audience member get up, speak into a microphone, calling out white supremacy, The Proud Boys, etc.
Luis& #39; reaction appears to be "Immediately Resort to Violence"

[6/] The Proud Boys is a violent, extremist, hate group. They also have a hierarchy. Violence is rewarded.
You can listen to Gavin McInnes explain just that to "I happen to platform more fascists than Gab", podcaster Joe Rogan in the clip below. FAIR USE

[7/] CONTENT WARNING: Gavin is also a racist, anti-Semite & violent fascist.
He handed the position of Proud Boys& #39; Chairman to Enrique Tarrio after video was released of the Proud Boys violently assaulting Antifascists outside the NYC Republican Club
Gavin RE: Obama - FAIR USE

[8/] Back to Luis. After the LOS episode where Luis attacked an audience member for calling out White Supremacy & The Proud Boys, an article appeared on the official Proud Boys website.
Read their words about the assault. CONTENT WARNING: Violence. Hate.

[10/] For context on Luis and the Legion of Skanks, here& #39;s a start. They& #39;re some of the last racist "comedians" remaining on most major platforms.

[11/] Another journalistic account of LOS& #39; Shane Gillis antisemitism.
"The comedian, who has since been fired from & #39;SNL,& #39; refers to Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang as a "Jew c---k" in a podcast episode recorded in May of this year." https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/wjwxxw/heres-even-more-audio-of-shane-gillis-saturday-night-live-gleefully-saying-slurs">https://www.vice.com/en_us/art...

[12/] Why is this relevant? Because the Proud Boys are a gang. They& #39;re a violent, fascist, hate group. Many are also deeply antisemitic. Here& #39;s a post from Luis advertising a podcast he and Tim Dillon recorded, where they created & actively involved a mock Adolf Hit*er.
[13/] Luis has gone to great lengths, along with the Legion of Skanks to build a network of platforms and accounts, to continue (where possible) to be monetized for espousing violent, racist, hate under the guise of comedy.
Here are a few of their Twitter accounts:

The "Proud Boys" are a @splcenter designated hate group with ties to white supremacists and neo-Nazis https://splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/proud-boys.">https://splcenter.org/fighting-... Some of their members are actual neo-Nazis

[15/] "Proud Boys" members have desecrated memorials to COVID victims and then bragged about it. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/may/18/proud-boys-claim-responsibility-for-taking-down-co/">https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2...
[16/] The Proud Boys also routinely threaten and engage in political violence (great thread with more context below). https://twitter.com/RuthlessWe/status/1310564840046428161">https://twitter.com/RuthlessW...
[17/] Luis is another violent, antisemitic, racist member of what @thedailybeast dubbed "Roger Stone& #39;s Personal Army".

[18/] Do not tolerate Proud Boys& #39; hate. Their members are a threat to our communities and way of life.
Regarding Luis and the Legion of Skanks? Deplatform them wherever you see them. Report them. Demonetize them.
We& #39;ve had enough hate profiteers this century.
