George Franklin Stockes IV or Frankie appeared on The Stew Peters Show on Tuesday. Stockes lives in Culpeper County but works as a reporter for National File and Infowars. Stockes has engaged in both anti-Jewish conspiracies and LGBT grooming conspiracies.
The host Stew Peters frequently engages in antisemitism and transphobia. Peters has a movie set to come out later this year called Occupied that falsely claims that the United States is controlled by Israel, not the other way around.
Peters seemed to be caught off guard from Kamala Harris selecting Tim Walz as her choice as running mate, somehow making the George Floyd protests in 2020 as something that secret Jewish overlords made Tim Walz do. Peters gave him the nickname “Timmy the Tyrant” and gives an example that Walz did not authorize the Minnesota National Guard to be more forceful during the protests.
Peters said on his Tuesday show that “This VP selection is Tim’s reward. He locked the state down. He turned the streets over to black thugs and their Commie Jew Masters.”
As Frankie Stockes was introduced, he began to agree with the conspiracies from Peters and gave it a Virginia twist.
“It didn’t just ruin Minnesota, it ruined my home state of Virginia. Ralph Northam, another guy who had a phony “I’m with the common man” type of act. He really followed in Tim Walz’ footsteps here in Virginia. Let the state be turned over to the same people.”
Later that day on Stockes’ Twitter account, Stockes went with the transphobic conspiracy saying that Walz is a groomer because of a Gay-Straight Alliance club that Walz sponsored.
Stockes is far from a traditional journalist. You won’t see him in the halls of Capitol Hill looking for inside stories and breaking news. Instead, his work is just making clickbait in his Culpeper home. His work is a part of a loose network of conspiracy theorist that includes the central Virginia area that are rampant with antisemitic and transphobia.
Stockes and Peters do not sound that different than the Republicans in Virginia with the exception of blaming Jewish communists. The official Twitter account for the Virginia GOP said in the next morning that “Every high profile Virginia Democrat just endorsed an open socialist who did nothing while Minneapolis burned to the ground.” The separation between the conspiracy theorists and the mainstream politician continues to narrow.
