Over his many years as an investigative reporter for 9News, Jeremy Jojola has grown accustomed to stirring the passions of viewers, and he understands that some negative responses to controversial stories are inevitable. But the ugliest reactions to his recent series about hate groups and neo-Nazis in Colorado exude "a different tone," he says. "You have people who are blatantly racist saying some pretty alarming things."
To illustrate this assertion, Jojola references a pair of tweets from Joshua Michael, who has been widely identified as a member of the alt-right organization known as the Proud Boys; his Twitter handle is @proudwolf13. Michael recently tweeted: "@jeremy jojola works at 9news and is a communist propaganda creator working against America dig into him go to his job go to his home go to his child's daycare treat these traitors the way they treat us and we will take the fight out of their fingertips."
A followup from Michael to Jojola contended: "You are the enemy of the American people we will bring this to your home your work your child's school. The way antifa does to us. You ****ed around now find out. The fury of America is upon you and your communist friends."
