A far-right livestreamer is calling for immigrant aid workers to be shot (www.motherjones.com)

Highlights: Almost as soon as news of actor Matthew Perry’s death broke last week, anti-vaccine activists began speculating that a Covid shot had caused his untimely passing (the cause of death is still undetermined). This was just the latest example of a trend that began last year, with the advent of the hashtag #DiedSuddenly. The origin of this phrase, as I wrote, was an eponymous film produced by far-right livestreamer Stew Peters.

But Peters, a former bounty hunter, isn’t restricting his work to anti-vaccine advocacy. His 448,000 followers on X and his 546,000 viewers on the far-right platform Rumble also tune in for his anti-LGBTQ anti-immigrant hate speech, as well as his endorsements of the spiraling QAnon conspiracy theory. His anti-vaccine hashtag may be having a resurgence, but since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, Peters has focused on producing a steady stream of content that appears to be in support of the people of Palestine—but really has more to do with his long history of antisemitism.

Media Matters reported, Peters called for the execution of nonprofit workers advocating for immigrants at the southern border.

In the same speech, Peters also described killing physicians who provide gender-affirming care as “a great idea.”

People really started assuming that the Covid vaccine killed Matthew Perry? I was at a Halloween party when that news broke. Literally everyone was like “I wouldn’t be surprised if drugs got him.” Poor guy has had a very public and battle with addiction.
