The Trump campaign on Friday fired Western Pennsylvania regional field director Luke Meyer, 24, after a Politico reporter exposed his alt-identity of alt-right Neo-Nazi Alberto Barbarossa, co-host of the “Alexandria” podcast with notorious shitbag MAGA activist Richard Spencer, in an apparent acknowledgement that Meyer should’ve been better at hiding his white nationalism.
“I am glad you pieced these little clues together like an antifa Nancy Drew,” Meyer wrote in an email to Politico reporter Amanda Moore. “It made me realize how draining it has been having to conceal my true thoughts for as long as I have.” Moore writes that “When I wrote Pennsylvania’s Trump Force 47 team that Meyer was Barbarossa, my email tracker showed the message being opened all across Pennsylvania and New York,” leading to a response from the Pennsylvania GOP – who she had not directly emailed – saying “The employee in question was background-checked and vetted, but unbeknownst to us was operating separately under a pseudonym. If we’d had any inkling about his hidden and despicable activity he would never have been hired, and the instant we learned of it he was fired. We have no place in our Party or nation for people with such shameful, hateful views.” Lol.
