Charles C. Johnson
Charles C. Johnson is a Holocaust denier and alt-right troll. Johnson’s Holocaust denial came to the forefront in January 2017 when he hosted an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit. When asked about his opinion on the Holocaust and the “Jewish Question,” Johnson asserted that the number of Jews killed was false. He also claimed he agreed with David Cole “about Auschwitz and the gas chambers not being real.” Johnson is also the founder of a crowdfunding website that reportedly raised more than $150,000 in 2017 for the neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin’s legal defense. On two separate occasions, in October 2017 and in February 2018, Johnson was invited to Capitol Hill by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher and Rep. Matt Gaetz, respectively.
