Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, folks, one of the largest pro-Trump social media accounts have just been exposed publicly for everybody to see. This account largely lives on Twitter or X, the company owned by Elon Musk, and they've remained anonymous this entire time, just pretending to be another angry Trump supporter. Except that's not who they actually are. They are somebody that's actively working within the Trump administration, and now their face has been exposed, and there's possibly a violation of the law here. But we'll talk about all of that and more in this video. And we will reveal this person's identity in just a moment. Before I do any of that, though, please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. Let me know what you think about this story.
Starting point is 00:00:40 I hosted Governor Gavin Newsom's Book Tour Stop in New York City last night. It was fantastic. You can find it here on the show on YouTube if you'd like. But without further ado, I want to get into the story because I always love when these MAGA accounts get exposed. I exist in this space. I work in this space every single day. And I deal with these people. and they're awful and they're awful.
Starting point is 00:00:59 And they hide behind these anonymous accounts to say awful things. And now many of them have been exposed. So first and foremost, this right here is the account. It's named Johnny Maga, which is not all of that creative in my view. And the account is operated. It's operated by a taxpayer-funded White House staffer named Garrett Wade. So he is actively promoting Trump through this account while making money from the taxpayer. Wade called Trump's video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes as a masterpiece.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Yet another racist, vile person working in the Trump regime. Not exactly surprising. This is him, by the way. I mean, look, if you were to create an image of what you think this guy would look like without seeing his face, I think this is a pretty typical thing for a Trump guy that works in the white house. You know, you could have predicted that he would look like that. Isn't that right? And this is the account on social media, 281,000.
Starting point is 00:01:57 followers, they're just posting today like nothing happened. They're just continuing to upload and they're making front of Kamala Harris still. They're promoting Charlie Kirk, all of this stuff. And I do have a personal interest in talking about this story because Johnny Maga has come after me on social media many times. I mean, just scroll. These are all the times that Johnny Maga has decided to come after me on social media. And there's more. There's more. There's not just this. There's more. But, you know, I have a personal interest in this. this account because it's always been very disinformation heavy. They've attacked me. They've attacked my friends. And they're always very disingenuous. You know, they're always lying on this
Starting point is 00:02:36 account. And of course, the MAGA people eat it up, but everybody else obviously objects. So let's get into the article and find out more about this Garrett Wade guy. So hours after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, the Trump administration was already working to shape the narrative. Official White House accounts flooded social media with clips of burning flags and clashes between local and federal immigration agents casting protesters, not the killing as the story. Among the accounts amplifying that message was the one and only Johnny Maga, a pro-Trump ex-account with nearly 300,000 followers saying, quote, they're burning the American flag right now in Minneapolis, the anonymous account claimed sharing a clip from the White House's official
Starting point is 00:03:14 rapid response feed, and they really expect you to believe that ICE shot an innocent civilian. Again, making money from taxpayer dollars. And he's saying this crap on social media, we're paying his salary. And he's saying this crap on social media. Will he get fired? Of course not. You know, of course not. And there's laws as to which social media accounts you can run and promote while serving in the administration. There's this thing called the Hatch Act that you can't be promoting a certain political side or a political campaign from the White House. And yet he seems to be doing just that. To its audience, Johnny Maga looked like an independent voice, another outrage supporter in the MAGA ecosystem.
Starting point is 00:03:51 He, the account regularly boosts Trump's truth social media posts and goes to bat for the administration attacking Democrats like Gavin Newsom, but this isn't just a regular account. Johnny Amaga appears to 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 non-anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny Maga, according to Wired. Wade in the White House did not respond. respond to request for comment. Of course not. The Johnny Maga account was created in September
Starting point is 00:04:23 2021, according to its ex profile. While the account's earliest available post focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022. The operator of the Johnny Maga account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, Town Hall, and the New York Post have all linked out to post on the Johnny Maga account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues. And this is such a crucial paragraph in the story. And that's why I'm mainly talking about this story. Yes, I have beef with the guy. Yes, I don't like the guy. And I think his account is dumb. But they are trying to shape the narrative. They're trying to make it seem like these
Starting point is 00:05:02 anonymous accounts are actually reflections of you and me and how the American people are feeling about the country. It's just an average everyday American who's not involved in the political process, but feels a calling to talk about politics. That couldn't be further from the truth. I mean, these people are embedded in the maga machine. They are in it. They are there. And they're trying to make it seem as if, oh, no, we're just speaking for average Americans. No, you're not.
Starting point is 00:05:25 You're speaking for Donald Trump. I mean, that's what's happening on social media right now. When we have to be aware of it, these people who don't put their face on the screen, they will lie and lie and there will be no accountability for them. Since Trump took office last year, the Johnny Maga account has supported administration priorities like immigration enforcement and allies like Turning Point USA. After Trump posted that racist video of Barack and Michelle Obama, the Johnny Maga account boosted the White House claim that the president didn't watch the entire video.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Quote, the most obvious tell that Trump's truth social post wasn't intentional is that he would have posted the entire thing if he had seen it. It's a masterpiece is what he called it. Depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys is a masterpiece according to people who work in the White House. I'm so pissed off right now. I just can't even begin to tell you. Because, you know, these are kids who are around my age. You know what I mean? These are, I don't know how old this guy is.
Starting point is 00:06:16 but he's probably around my age. And he is in the White House working for Donald Trump. And instead of advocating for good, trying to make people's lives better, he looks at power as a means to promote himself, as a means to promote bad people and mock people and be racist in that power. I mean, these guys have no morals whatsoever. I don't know how somebody goes down that path. I really just don't get it.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Well, the Trump administration has long cultivated a growing cast of conservative creators to spread its message online, a White House staffer Moonlight. as an anonymous MAGA influencer would blur the already hazy line further, making it nearly impossible to distinguish between official government messaging and what appears to be organic digital support. This lack of disclosure risks undermining public trust. Disinformation researchers suggest, of course it does.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Because does Johnny Maga speak for Donald Trump? And if that's the case, can we get the White House on the record responding to this? It's a masterpiece claim? I'd love to hear more. And if a reporter doesn't go in there tomorrow and ask about this story and ask about this question, quote, it would be a dereliction of duty. It really would be.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I just, you know, quote, people have a right to know who is trying to manipulate public opinion, and they have a right to know whether or not they're experiencing astro-turf politics, says Samuel Woolley, a University of Pittsburgh professor who studies disinformation and media ethics. This lack of transparency and the conflict of interest surrounding this account, and the lack of disclosure, all amount to a breach of public trust. One of many, one of many different breaches of public trust from this administration. not surprising whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:07:47 I mean, I just can't. You know, I will always talk about stories like this because, as I said, I exist in this space. You know, part of what I do here is tracking what the Republicans are saying online to see what their narrative is about about a given story that we might talk about on the show or whatever it might be. And it's always just lies and misinformation and there's no accountability. Very rarely they put their faces behind their claims. My face, you know, I put my face behind everything I say. I'm here saying it. You can see me.
Starting point is 00:08:15 But with these MAGA accounts, many of them are anonymous, many of them lie, and many of them are being paid by the Trump administration to do it. It's so crazy. There's an entire world out there that we have yet to understand, which is the MAGA ecosystem, who's getting paid by who, where this money is flowing, where these people actually exist. And it goes much deeper than this, I fear. So look, I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for watching. Make sure to share this story around. Genuinely, I think a lot of people need to see it.
