#Tunkhannock Pennsylvania

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Alex Kaplan at MMFA:

Local officials in northeast Pennsylvania have been forced to rebut an anti-immigrant claim spread by antisemitic Gab CEO Andrew Torba, who claimed that there were “busses full of migrants being dropped off” in the town of Tunkhannock. Authorities say they have been “inundated with calls” in response to the anti-immigrant claim, which spread via social media in a situation similar to what is currently encompassing the town of Springfield, Ohio, where baseless anti-immigrant smears spread by neo-Nazis and social media users have led to repeated bomb threats.

Gab is a far-right social media platform that has been a haven for white nationalists, including the 2018 Tree of Life Synagogue shooter. Torba, Gab’s CEO, has pushed white nationalism, Christian nationalism, and antisemitism — including complaining that “pagans, Jews, non-believers, atheists” have too much political power and arguing that Christians are “done being controlled and being told what we’re allowed to do in our own country by a 2% minority.” He also cheered on the January 6 insurrection as it was happening, has called democracy a “failed concept” and a “failed ideology,” promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory, and led an effort to sabotage vaccination efforts during the coronavirus pandemic. Notably, Torba has bragged that Gab helped make the racist “great replacement” conspiracy theory “part of the daily mainstream discourse.”

On September 16, Torba posted on both Gab and X (formerly Twitter) that “I’m getting reports from locals that they have spotted busses full of migrants being dropped off in Tunkhannock, PA. I can personally confirm that I’ve seen parking lots full of them at the local park near Tunkhannock.” His post included an image that supposedly supported his claim. Torba’s post reportedly spread across social media, and local law enforcement officials told ABC affiliate WNEP that they are “being inundated with calls about the post.” WNEP dedicated a segment about the anti-migrant claim, specifically highlighting Torba’s post and speaking with the district attorney of Wyoming County, where Tunkhannock is located, who said, “If it was all true and if they were here, they have disappeared. And even if they were here, there’s no indication of anything illegal.” The district attorney had reportedly “even consulted with Homeland Security personnel who work out of his office” about the claim.

[...] Torba’s targeting of supposed migrants in Tunkhannock comes as Springfield, Ohio, has been inundated with bomb threats over false claims that members of its Haitian immigrant community were “stealing and eating local pets.” 

Far-right extremist Gab CEO Andrew Torba’s anti-migrant claim that buses of migrants are flooding into Tunkhannock, PA got debunked by local officials.
