Turns out saying that you think it's good that BLM protestors get murdered if they don't stop rioting after multitude of stories about cops killing black people and cops abusing protestors might come back to haunt you.

D*stiny had a group called "Omniliberal Movement" that had volunteers for Gudgel.

Bonnell currently lives in California, but his son still lives in Omaha. Bonnell is the founder of a group called the Omniliberal Movement (OLM), and as an Omaha native, Bonnell decided to support an Omaha candidate for mayor.

In a statement posted on Tuesday, Gudgel said that his campaign is proud to be partnered with OLM, but they do not receive campaign money from the group, though OLM has “two separate paid consultants in Omaha” and is “housing and mentoring 10 full-time volunteers.”

[...]

Nonetheless, while Bonnell may not be a paid staff member, he has been actively supporting and fundraising for Gudgel’s campaign. Bonnell featured Gudgel on his Twitch stream to do a Q&A, he was a guest on Gudgel’s podcast and raised money for the campaign via PayPal. It appears Bonnell is continuing to be involved in future canvassing events for the campaign as well.

Rosser said that this campaign strategy is not transparent and that accepting the endorsement of a problematic influencer is unsettling for her. She also said she has heard complaints about the volunteers aggressively knocking on doors.

“[I’ve heard they have been] responding to those voting for the Black women running that, ‘it isn’t Mark’s fault he’s white,’” she said.

Of the whole situation, Rosser said, “I come at this as somebody who is not part of any political campaigns during this election cycle, but instead as someone who smelled something fishy and found fish.”

D*stiny fans are predictably mad, claiming the article is bad journalism and that it shouldn't be a big deal that a guy closely connected with the campaign defended saying racial slurs "in private".
