Smash Racism DC is the antifa outfit that chased Ted Cruz out of a restaurant in September and mobbed the home of Fox News host Tucker Carlson in November. It’s but a small arm of the national fascist “anti-fascist” movement coming to a theater near you. The leader of this movement had, of course, been operating pseudonymously out of the shadows — a convenient place from which to threaten and intimidate public figures while reducing his own personal risk. Well, thanks to The Daily Caller, we now know that “Jose Martin” and “Chepe” is actually Joseph “Jose” Alcoff.

The Caller notes, “Identifying as ‘Chepe,’ Alcoff advocates for the violent overthrow of the government and for the murder of the rich. He has relished the mainstreaming of Antifa’s militant tactics in the Trump era.”

Alcoff was also previously an organizer of Occupy Wall Street and “Cop Watch.” And a sampling of his other rhetoric is truly deplorable:

"#DearRichPeople die in a fire, or someday we will kill you in a fire.“

"Police lives don’t matter. They can all burn in Hell.”

“I hate this country. It isn’t half bad. It’s all bad.”

“I truly hope [Trump] has a very public death at the hands of the pitchfork wielding exploited, a public execution that befits Trump’s stature.”

Unmasking him would have been less relevant but for the violence Alcoff foments. And not just random violence, either. Alcoff hypocritically declared in 2016, “You have to expose them and you have to expose where they live, their names, what they do for a living. Never let them be anonymous, and never just push their rhetoric without directly countering it.”

It’s time to force Democrat leaders to answer for their fringe constituents in the same way President Donald Trump has been forced to deal with his.
