    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fergie_Chambers

    In All About the Money, Chambers said he is dissatisfied with the convention of political civility in American public life, characterizing himself as opposed to it.

    In 2024, Chambers told Mother Jones in an interview that he believes “the most important thing for the prosperity of humanity is the destruction of the US”,[3] Los Angeles magazine quoted him as saying, “I chant death to America every day. Imperialism is the death of humanity”.

    He has also been supportive of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and visited Russian-occupied Donbas, referring to Vladimir Putin as a “great man”.

    Chambers is a vocal supporter of Hamas; he described the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel as “a moment of hope and inspiration for tens of millions of people”. Chambers later wrote on X that “No faction of the Palestinian resistance, Hamas or other, has done anything wrong”.[8][12] He has also reported that he is a founder of Vox Ummah, a Egyptian-based media outlet aligned with Iranian state media

    Chambers and his second wife, Cameron Park, met in Atlanta after his return from Russia.[1] In 2013, Chambers was arrested for domestic battery and false imprisonment of Park, although he was not prosecuted. They divorced after 2020.

    Charming guy

      Yeah at first I was under the impression that he provided monetary aid to Palestinian affiliated organizations, and that that was what was really being punished.

      And I do understand that for a people suffering an ethnic cleansing, some kind of strike back at the perpetrators can be expected. but to celebrate it? Man… Like in Star Wars, we’d celebrate the Rebels throwing a bomb at a meeting of Empire big wigs, all of them with vast quantities of blood on their hands… but the Oct. 7th attack was just against regular folk. I bet there were a lot of anti-zionists in attendance at that festival. I sincerely doubt all the people killed there were violent settlers. To celebrate that is… ugh.

      Then bro went and praised pootin and his invasion of Ukraine? like, bro. What are you even doing. Borne with a silver spoon in his mouth, dude got 250 million from being a part of the family running cox communications. It’s not like he’s some working class hero. He just seems like an entitled twat.

      Not that I think he should be arrested for it… the drumpf administration is probably just after him because they’re racist shit heels that hate brown people, while also doing a sneaky favor for the guys family which cut contact with him and now probably want him to see a jail cell in some sort of twisted familial vengeance scheme.
