I'm thinking that this Jacob Wohl dickhead deserves his own thread

the latest misadventure:

 

Hapless pro-Trump operative Jacob Wohl appears to have staged a fake protest against himself, only to have it become immediately apparent that he was behind it.

Wohl and his ally, Republican lobbyist Jack Burkman, have been planning to hold a press conference Wednesday at Burkman’s Northern Virginia house to push a baseless sexual assault smear against Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg. But on Monday, Burkman tweeted a link to an Eventbrite event pagecalled the “Protest Against Homophobic Bigots” which he claimed was being used to organize a protest against his press conference with Wohl.

“Hundreds of leftist protestors are set to descend on our Wednesday Press conference,” Burkman tweeted,” Burkman tweeted. “We WILL NOT surrender to the mob! We’ve called in extra security to guard our safety and that of our partners in the media.”

Before Burkman’s tweet, no other Twitter account had ever promoted the event page. And it quickly became apparent as to why. Reporter Justin Duckham noticed that the Eventbrite page’s organizer used the email address “wohlthinktank@gmail.com” — an email address also used by Wohl.

Though it looked remarkably clear that Wohl had tried to organize a protest against himself, Wohl denied any involvement.

“I’ve never used Eventbrite in my life,” Wohl said. “It was created by a troll.”

Burkman, like Wohl, also said he wasn’t involved in the event. In a text message, he blamed the event page on “internet trols (sic).”

“Ur a great guy but I would suggest less time on the internet,” Burkman texted The Daily Beast.

An Eventbrite spokesperson declined to reveal the identity of the event organizer, but said that the account had never been used on Eventbrite before. Eventbrite later deleted the event, describing it as in violation of Eventbrite’s rules against inauthentic content.

“We take the issue of inauthentic content very seriously and our policy is to remove it when we become aware of it,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Upon review of this event, we determined it to be in violation and have taken it off our platform and terminated this account.”

This is far from the first time Wohl and Burkman have seen their plans unravel. Last November, they attempted to smear Special Counsel Robert Mueller with sexual assault allegations, only to have their press conference detailing the accusation fall apart when their accuser failed to show. The “accuser” later said Wohl and Burkman had faked the allegations. Meanwhile, a fake intelligence agency Wohl had created to smear Mueller was revealed to be another fabrication, with pictures of its “employees” just headshots of models and Hollywood actors.

Last week, meanwhile, The Daily Beast reported on a recording of Wohl urging a young man to fabricate a sexual assault allegation against Buttigieg. Another person roped into the scheme, Hunter Kelly, has since said that Wohl and Burkman pressured him to make similar accusations against the South Bend mayor.

Why hasn't anything happened to this idiot yet? 

This douche really seems to exhibit a special blend of idiocy and incompetence. He has far exceeded any rational expectation for life expectancy, so it shouldnt be long before we read about him drowning in his own toilet.

Hey look everyone, Jacob is gonna be back in the news again.

A perennial House candidate’s alleged harassment of his ex-girlfriend has gone so far that he apparently hired notorious conservative operative Jacob Wohl to pressure her and a former campaign worker, according to text messages and a recording reviewed by The Daily Beast.

Wohl is best known for his blundering, often comical attempts at political trickery, including failed schemes to concoct bogus sexual assault allegations against former Special Counsel Robert Mueller and presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg. But text messages from a phone number belonging to Wohl suggest that the 21-year-old hoaxer has branched out into making death threats on behalf of his political allies, telling one woman he would “torture you so much that you end up killing yourself.”

 

Quote

Aug. 1 was a big day for both allies and former friends of Omar Navarro, a Republican known for his perennial failed campaigns against Donald Trump nemesis Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). Those runs had earned him more than a million dollars in campaign donations in his 2018 run, and high-powered endorsements from Trumpworld stalwarts like Herman Cain, Ret. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, and game show host Chuck Woolery. But suddenly his career as a conservative cause célèbre was at risk.

Navarro was due in court in Torrance, California, that day. A judge was due to decide whether his ex-girlfriend—self-styled MAGA relationship expert DeAnna Lorraine Tesoriero—would be granted a restraining order against him after enduring what she describes as months of harassment since dumping him in April.  

 

Quote

A restraining order could be disastrous for both Navarro’s fundraising and his already dim electoral chances—he lost his last two races against Waters by more than 50 points. It also wouldn’t be the first time Navarro has been in court on a domestic issue, after being convicted in 2016 of putting an illegal tracking device on his wife’s car.

Making matters worse, former Navarro campaign worker Irina Chausovskaya had had a falling-out with the candidate. She claimed to have secretly obtained recordings of the candidate making crude sexual comments about Waters and planning to invest the campaign funds he received from conservative donors across the country into bitcoin. And Chausovskaya and Tesoriero knew one another, raising the prospect of two damaging stories for Navarro’s career as a perennial candidate breaking at the same time. 

 

Spoiler

Shortly before Tesoriero’s court hearing, Chausovskaya received text messages from a number with a 949 area code in Orange County. Whoever was behind the number wanted to know whether Chausovskaya would be at the hearing.

“Don’t worry, I’ll see you soon,” the text message read. “It won’t be painful. I’m looking forward to watching your soul leave your eyes.” 

“I’ll make it my mission to torture you so much that you end up killing yourself,” the writer of the messages added. 

The text messages were just the latest in a series of threatening text and WhatsApp messages that Chausovskaya and Tesoriero claim to have received over months since angering Navarro. 

Usually, the messages came from numbers they had never seen before, sometimes with fake names attached. This time, though, there was a clue as to who was behind the latest round of texts. 

A search in the TrueCaller app, which collects phone data from users and phone directories, showed the 949 number was associated with Jacob Wohl. The Daily Beast was able to independently confirm the connection. Calls to the 949 number Wohl has used before that threatened to “torture” Chausovskaya weren’t answered. But the evidence of Wohl’s involvement matched what Tesoriero says she heard from Navarro campaign worker Sean Daniel. 

In a recording reviewed by The Daily Beast, a man Tesoriero identifies as Daniel tells her that he had talked to Navarro, who had told Daniel he would hire Wohl for $5,000 to “do something against your career” if she succeeded in getting the restraining order granted.

“He’s going to investigate and spend money with Jacob Wohl, to have you like get obliterated, because he’s gonna be so pissed because his political career, he said, is gonna be over, if he gets another restraining order,” the man in the recording said. “That’s what he told me.” 

Daniel, who has been paid $11,665.68 this year by Navarro’s campaign for digital marketing services, didn’t respond to requests for comment. 

In the recording, the man says that Navarro said he would use campaign money to hire Wohl.

“He raised a lot of money last quarter,” the man in the recording said. “He says he’s got a lot of money to be able to have people go after you.”

There’s no question that Wohl and Navarro know each other. In May, Wohl posted a picture of himself meeting with Navarro in the lobby of the Trump International Hotel in Washington on Instagram. 

In an Instagram direct message to The Daily Beast, Wohl denied being “privy to anything regarding any congressional candidate’s personal life.” Navarro denied hiring Wohl, and said any text messages provided to The Daily Beast or used in Tesoriero’s application for a restraining order were  “total fake news.” But the judge found Tesoriero credible and granted her a five-year restraining order against Navarro — the longest option available in California. 

“What happened in court was not justice,” Navarro said. “It was basically a judge going off of someone crying in a courtroom.” 

Navarro’s political career, such as it is, has grown alongside Waters’ profile as a Trump antagonist. Navarro raised less than $3,000 in his 2016 run against Waters, and lost in a landslide. 

He also went down in defeat in 2018—but in the lead-up to that race, Waters had become a top enemy for Trump supporters, and Navarro’s campaign treasury was filled with donations from Republicans eager to see her out of Congress. Navarro raised more than $1.1 million dollars in the 2018 cycle—$24,583.04 of which he paid to himself as a salary, an unusual but not unprecedented move for a congressional candidate.

“It’s a cash cow, and they don’t want the cash cow to end,” Chausovskaya said. 

Navarro’s reputation in the world of right-wing internet personalities began to wane earlier this year, however, when he allegedly began harassing Tesoriero. Navarro had begun going out with Tesoriero, the author of Trump-themed dating guide Making Love Great Again!, earlier this year, while he was still divorcing his wife. By April, though, Tesoriero told him they were done. He didn’t take it well, according to an application for a restraining order that Tesoriero filed in July.

“Omar became very jealous and became obsessed with accusing me of having other romantic relationships,” Tesoriero wrote in the application. 

Tesoriero’s court filing includes a lengthy list of times Navarro allegedly harassed her after she dumped him, including confronting her at Georgetown’s tony Cafe Milano and following her around the lobby at the Trump International Hotel in Washington in May. As Tesoriero left the hotel with her friends, she claims Navarro followed behind her, yelling, “That’s my girlfriend!” 

Later that day, Tesoriero says she was deluged with text messages calling her a slut and a whore. 

Tesoriero says Navarro threatened to release details about their sex lives and put out other damaging information about her if she wouldn’t get back together with him. She claims she was forced to stay in contact with him for fear that he would attack her on his Twitter account, which has more than 200,000 followers.

“Omar has approximately 225,000 Twitter followers, many of which are in my social and professional network,” Tesoriero wrote in her request for a temporary restraining order. “Terrified of him, but also fearing he would follow through with his threats (which he eventually did) I remained in contact with him for this reason.” 

Navarro’s confrontations with Tesoriero came to a head in early  July, when they were both in town to appear at a rally organized by the far-right Proud Boys men’s groups. On July 3, Navarro showed up at a downtown Washington bar popular with conservatives, where he began to argue with Tesoriero. After a member of the far-right Proud Boys group got in between the two, Navarro stormed out of the bar, and later accused the group on Twitter of stealing his girlfriend and using cocaine.

Meanwhile, Chausovskaya, who had some secret recordings of the candidate, had begun to criticize how Navarro handled his 2018 campaign. On one recording, Navarro speculates about using his windfall of campaign contributions to invest in bitcoin. In another, he discusses which sex acts he would like to perform on Waters. On another, he complains about Asian-American drivers.

“That’s the problem with Torrance, there’s so many Asians right here,” Navarro said on the recording.

The recordings began to circulate on Telegram, a Russian messaging app that’s become popular with American right-wing activists who have been kicked off of other social media platforms. Some of the recordings were published on a blog operated by anti-Muslim bigot Milo Yiannopoulos, who had started to attack Navarro after the Proud Boys feud. 

Chausovskaya began to receive text messages from a number she didn’t know with a 424 area code, in Los Angeles. The man behind the number claimed to be named Joseph Wexler, and said Chausovskaya had “harassed, defamed, and stalked” his “clients.” Wexler claimed to have talked to an FBI agent about Chausovskaya, and planned to take “irreversible action” against her. Wexler also accused Chausovskaya of acting as an unlicensed lawyer for Tesoriero.

In one text message, Wexler said he had visited Chausovskaya’s home—writing out her address to make clear he knew where she lived—but didn’t find her. In another, he said he had gone to a Tucson, Arizona business operated by her mother.

“You seem like a smart girl with a great future,” one text message read. “Would be a shame if something happened to you. If you don’t meet with us, we can’t guarantee it won’t.” 

Tesoriero began to receive messages from the same number, including one with a picture of Tesoriero posing for the camera—with the implication that he had more damaging images to come.

“I want to make you famous,” he wrote. “Cant wait to do so.” 

Around the same time, someone using the same phone number texted The Daily Beast and offered to provide “the goods” on a number of right-wing personalities—in exchange for a story critical of Chausovskaya. 

When The Daily Beast called the number, a man who identified himself as “Michael Maas” picked up the phone, and claimed that Wexler was a friend who had been borrowing his phone to make the threats. 

“I think this was kind of a douchey move for him to use my phone like that,” the man said. 

Maas offered to put The Daily Beast in touch with Wexler, but neither person—if they are two different people—responded to further messages. 

Days before the restraining order hearing, Tesoriero began to receive a series of WhatsApp messages from someone who claimed to be outside her bedroom, even noting when she turned off her lights. 

“It’s disgusting because they are harassing people,” Tesoriero said. “I never asked for any of this.”

Wohl is that little brat who could never draw the line between pranks and going too far, to the point where either he gets his ass royally beat, or he ends up in going to jail.   

or shot in self defense.

It's really sad that the US arrested and is planning to deport hard working employees at the Koch Foods plant in Mississippi and yet this fellow somehow earns a living by being an a**hole.

It's sad that this will have no real impact on Koch Foods, and they'll go back to hiring illegal immigrants as soon as the attention is elsewhere.

It’s the American way. We do nothing about our voracious demand (for drugs, for immigrant labor). We complain like hell about the supply: how DARE you bad people provide all of that stuff that I really, really want!

Yes, and I don't see that changing. Over thirty years ago a relative of mine moved on from working at a meat plant. It used to be a good job with a fair wage. They gutted the unions, sped up the lines, lowered the wages, and turned it into what is now (there's a lot more, but that is the shortest answer). That the migrants are so desperate to work in a modern day Upton Sinclair novel makes one rage when Jacob Wohl is the beneficiary of all that.

Ben Shapiro is 5"2.  No, that's not a Spinal Tap typo.  He's just over five inches tall and he constantly promotes war for Israeli interests in which he would never be involved.  Those wars are for you and your children to fight.  Not him.  Whenever Israel taps the United States on the shoulder and points at another potential skirmish we should delve into, he'll help promote it.  If you disagree with his position it's because you're an anti-Semite.  That's Ben Shapiro.  Also, he sleeps in an expensive shoe -- a luxuriously sprawling women's size 7.

Jacob Wohl wants desperately to be Patrick Bateman but instead has incel face, knows he has incel face, desperately wishes his posturing could mask said face, but ultimately knows deep down there’s nothing he can do about it.

You hate to see it.

So he probably wants to be a "Chad", whatever the fuck that is (hint: It ain't Chad Ochocinco, although you'd think a runt like Wohl would be desperate to be like him).  "Chad" is the incel ideal, which I guess means their parents have a bigger basement.

Conservative operative Jacob Wohl is wanted on a felony arrest warrant in California, a development that could hamper his spree of bizarre, blundering political schemes.

Wohl and former business partner Matthew Johnson were both charged with the unlawful sale of securities in a Riverside Superior Court criminal complaint filed on Aug. 19.
