A high-profile MAGA influencer on X with hundreds of thousands of followers has been exposed as being secretly run by a White House staffer.

According to Wired, "To its audience, Johnny MAGA looked like an independent voice, another outraged supporter in the MAGA media ecosystem. The account regularly boosts Trump’s Truth Social posts and goes to bat for the administration, attacking Democrats like California governor Gavin Newsom."

The account also pushed images of flag-burning demonstrators in Minneapolis after the killing of Renee Good, saying, “They’re burning the American flag right now in Minneapolis, and they really expect you to believe that ICE shot an innocent civilian.”

"Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies," said the report. "A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House."

1. If you're surprised, you haven't been paying attention...

2. What a surprise.

Everything about this regime is a fraud. Everything is contrived.

3. MAGA size and its very reality is phony.

MAGA real size is 500 miles wide and less than a tenth of an inch deep. Musk’s X platform
hosts many many MAGA sites but > 90% are in foreign countries with names like MAGA for
America which is from Central or South America. I would not be surprised if these phony
maga groups all trace back to Russia.

It is all kabuki. Phony news from corporate media, phony elections, and phony political movements.

********

Right MAGA Movement on X is run by Foreign Agents.

The recent fallout from MAGA cult that the majority of their accounts are run from foreign countries is absolutely hilarious.

The location feature on X has now been turned off after a bunch of posters Elon and Trump pushed or retweeted were exposed as foreign actors

Research shows networks of “fake MAGA influencers” and bot farms that mimic MAGA branding while pushing agendas aligned with foreign actors.

Some wonder whether this was a deliberate attempt to "destroy" the MAGA movement

*This also seems to have affected some liberal accounts as well.

This brings up a number of interesting questions that this community should think about or discuss.

What are the broader ramifications if a significant portion of highly visible MAGA-style accounts are foreign-run?

Fraud. Convicted fraud.

5. It's like they have opened up all the jails and mental hospitals and given them jobs in the White House

and in the Republican Party.

And then they call everybody else nuts and criminals.

6. Shaping the hearts and minds of the American public . . .

Along with a lot of the MSM, who try hard to be America's version of Pravda, you really need some sharp critical thinking skills to recognise it all as propaganda.

7. These guys usually wear more than one sock.

Don't be surprised if there are more where that came from.
