Michael Moates is a right-wing blogger/journalist who founded D.C. Chronicle, a site that is now, appropriately, a porn site. He sometimes wrote for the Washington Examiner. He also ran for Congress, as a Libertarian, not a Republican. However, he describes himself as a life-long Republican in his most recent Twitter account. He keeps getting suspended.

He had to withdraw his candidacy when he got suspended for sexually harassing underage teens. Several women came forward with messages he sent them. I won’t reproduce them here because he sued or filed a DMCA on everyone. He lost all his suits and DMCA filings, but I don’t want the bother. You can read them in the articles.

Tyler Smith, a member of right-wing militia group Patriot Prayer, was featured in the reality show in Season 3, Episode 4 of Doomsday Preppers, a show that amplifies the paranoid, reactionary, and the radical right. His group is called The Marauders because they plan to steal their supplies. They showed him with firearms which led to his arrest for illegal possession of firearms. He is not eligible to have weapons because he is a convicted sex offender.

National Geographic didn’t mention he was a convicted child molester but they did show him saying he was an apex predator. Perhaps he meant sexual predator. Is molesting a 14-year-old girl apex?
