Last night, nearly every prominent self-described New Right personality shared a photo purporting to show protesters who had gathered in New York to oppose a speech by right-wing activist and self-described journalist Mike Cernovich flying a banner endorsing pedophilia, in what appears to be yet another hoax designed to smear New Right opposition.
Cernovich gave a short lecture about the rise of alternative media at Columbia University in New York City last night and was met by hundreds of protesters who opposed his appearance on campus. The protest group included students, members of the public, and anti-fascist protesters.
Then, serial hoaxer and Pizzagate pioneer Jack Posobiec began circulating photographs online purporting to show anti-Cernovich protesters holding a sign that read No white supremacy, no pedobashing, no Mike Cernovich and featured a logo for the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), a group with a nearly non-existent membership that seeks to abolish the age of consent. The photos spread like wildfire on alt-right and New Right Twitter:
Posobiec is a media personality known for his endorsement of conspiracy theories and orchestration of hoax news events. In the last year, Posobiec has been caught planting a Rape Melania sign at a Trump rally to smear anti-Trump protesters, sending trolls to a net neutrality rally with signs calling for the shutdown of conservative media outlets, and distributing fake flyers at another net neutrality event claiming that participants endorsed Satanic porn.

That's right - they purposefully paint their protestors as child molestors! I mean really these fucking people. I wonder what they must think about when cameras aren't following them?

They think they're in some kind of weird fraternity, but they're definitely not frat boys. They look like the guys who couldn't quite make the cut.
