Today, IfNotNow Movement released a new video featuring young Jews from Georgia attacking Senator Kelly Loeffler for using antisemitic tropes and associating with far-right extremists. This video comes out less than two weeks after Loeffler took a photo with known neo-Nazi and former KKK leader, Chester Doles and as news continues to emerge about her history of posing in photos with white supremacists.

Watch the video here.

Here is more information about each of Kelly’s Far-Right Fans:

1) Marjorie Taylor Greene. She was just elected to represent GA-14 is a far-right, racist Congresswoman-elect who supports QAnon, and who Trump called “a future Republican star.”

• Loeffler and Greene campaigned together after Loeffler accepted Greene's endorsement.

• Here is a list of unquestionably racist and antisemitic statements from Greene, which Loeffler has never been held to account for, including: Calling Black people “slaves to the Democratic party;” calling a student activist from Parkland high school “little Hitler;” and calling George Soros “the enemy of the people;" and saying that “There is an Islamic invasion into our government offices right now” after the elections of Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

• Greene has also promoted a video about the antisemitic 'White Genocide' conspiracy theory. In it, Nick Griffin, a Holocaust denier and member of the fascist British National Party, says an “unholy alliance of leftists, capitalists and Zionist supremacists have schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation.”

• Greene is also a proponent of QAnon, saying in 2017, "Q is a patriot, we know that for sure," The conspiracies pervasive in QAnon have been well-documented as antisemitic, nothing more than a 21st-Century blood-libel.

2) Jack Posobiec. He is a Nazi sympathizer that works for One America News Network (OANN), where he interviewed Loeffler in July — an interview which she later promoted on her campaign's social media account.

• The SPLC conducted an intensive investigation into Posobiec’s activities and found that he “has collaborated with white supremacists, neo-fascists and antisemites for years, while producing propaganda that Trump and his inner circle have publicly celebrated.”

• Here is a list of the white supremacists that he collaborates with (sourced from SPLC here and here):

• He spent the 2016 Republican National Convention hanging out with white nationalist Richard Spencer, and other far-right actors.

• He also livestreamed a book launch for white nationalist author Scott Greer, who writes for Richard Spencer’s publication Radix Journal under a pseudonym. In addition to Greer, other white nationalists — including writers for the white supremacist publication, American Renaissance — also attended the event.

• In 2017, Posobiec promoted an event hosted by a Polish pro-Nazi movement, Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny (ONR). The following year he participated in a march organized by ONR, during which participants chanted “white power.”

• Posobiec also met with Krzysztof Bosak of the extreme far-right party Ruch Narodowy (RN). RN’s party president Robert Winnicki said in 2018, “the Jews will not get a penny from us,” in response to U.S. legislation designed to make reparations to Holocaust survivors and their families.

• Here is a list of antisemites that Posobiec has interviewed, before Loeffler sat down with him (sourced from the SPLC)

• September 2018: “Microchip,” a pseudonymous contributor to the white-supremacist-friendly website Gab. Pior to being interviewed by Posobiec, “Microchip” celebrated Hitler, and alluded to terrorism and murder.

• November 2018: Stefan Molyneux, a Canadian race scientist. His accounts on YouTube and Twitter were suspended after using social media to repeatedly promote his belief that women and non-white people are predisposed to be of lower intelligence than white men.

• 2017: Posobiec also filmed two segments with the neo-Nazi Clark brothers — who were associated with the white supremacist who killed 11 Jews at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh — for the Canadian far-right website, The Rebel Media.

3) Chester Doles: He is a neo-Nazi who Kelly Loeffler posed for a photo with On Friday, December 11.

• Chester Doles is a former KKK leader who went to prison after nearly beating a Black man to death in 1993.

  • He organized in the early 2000s with the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi group. 

  • He marched in Charlottesville at Unite the Right in 2017 with fellow neo-Nazis. 

  • He founded and now leads “American Patriots USA,” which promotes the same white supremacist ideology under a thin veil of patriotism.

• Doles has met and posed for photos with Georgia House Rep Matt Gurtler, Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Senator Kelly Loeffler. 

  • In May of 2020, Greene’s campaign dismissed questions about Doles, calling them “silly” and the Atlanta Journal Constitution “fake news” for inquiring about her association with a neo-Nazi.
