Jacob Wohl Proud to Be ‘Number-One Trending Topic’ After Twitter Ban

[CaptQuint]

Twitter banned notorious Trump supporter Jacob Wohl from its platform on Tuesday, alleging that Wohl broke the site’s rules against creating fake accounts.

Wohl’s ban came hours after he boasted in a USA Today interview about his plans to create fake accounts on Twitter and Facebook, which he said would be used to manipulate the 2020 election.

“The account was suspended for multiple violations of the Twitter Rules, specifically creating and operating fake accounts,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Daily Beast.

Wohl had already created several fake accounts before he was banned, according to a source familiar with Wohl’s activities on Twitter. Wohl told USA Today that he intended to use the accounts to help Trump in the 2020 election, pushing Democratic primary voters to back weaker candidates who would be easier for Trump to defeat in the general election.

Wohl didn’t respond to requests for comment. His Facebook and Instagram accounts are still online.

In a video posted after his ban, Wohl claimed that being kicked off Twitter was actually good news for him.

“This could not have happened at a better time,” Wohl said. “Jacob Wohl is the number-one trending topic on Twitter right now.”

Wohl said he would still attempt to use fake social media accounts to change votes in 2020.

“It’s 100 percent legal, and now I’m going to have a lot more time to do it,” Wohl said in the video.

Wohl’s fake accounts included @JWohlTreason, @DrakeHomes612, @Women_4_Schultz, and @Ericshanzner, according to a source familiar with Wohl’s Twitter activity.

Wohl confirmed to NBC News that he ran @Women_4_Schultz, a Twitter account posing as a group of women supporting a possible independent presidential bid by Starbucks founder Howard Schultz. The account urged Schultz to run for president and attacked Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (CA).

“I guess you’re not allowed to make an account that expresses Howard Schultz’s positions on women’s issues,” Wohl said in his video.

The tweets for the @Ericshanzner account have been deleted. But based on other Twitter users’ interactions with it, the account appears to have been used to promote Wohl’s trip with other right-wing personalities to Minneapolis to “investigate” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN.). Wohl played up the danger he faced in the city in broadcasts to his fans, wearing a bulletproof vest and claiming he had to be driven around in an armored car.

Twitter and other platforms have been under congressional pressure to crack down on election manipulation after Russian social media interference in the 2016 election. Wohl’s scheme to divide and weaken the Democratic field even recalls part of the Russian interference effort, which involved boosting candidates on the left opposed to Hillary Clinton.

Wohl, 21, had amassed more than 180,000 followers on Twitter before his ban, thanks in large part to his frequent, enthusiastic replies to Donald Trump’s tweets.

The Twitter ban marks the latest setback for Wohl, who originally made his name in finance, becoming the youngest person to ever be banned from futures trading.

In 2018, Wohl attempted to smear Special Counsel Robert Mueller by attempting to recruit a woman to accuse Mueller of sexual assault. Wohl even created a fake investigative firm, “Surefire Intelligence,” which purported to be staffed by experienced intelligence operatives. The firm’s staff turned out to be only Wohl himself, though, after reporters discovered that Wohl was using pictures of famous actors and models to stand in for his nonexistent employees. The firm’s image further collapsed after a reporter realized that one of Surefire’s phone numbers went to Wohl’s mother’s voicemail.

Wohl’s scheme against Mueller is now under FBI investigation. The scene turned comical after Wohl’s accuser failed to show up for a disastrous press conference, with one heckler asking Wohl and his ally, Washington lobbyist Jack Burkman, whether they were prepared to go to prison.

In the USA Today story published Tuesday, the woman claims that Wohl tricked her and lied about the entire incident.

Wohl’s signature move on Twitter—claiming that he had overheard liberals praising Trump at a “hipster coffee shop” in a series of obviously fake anecdotes—became a popular meme. Wohl often tweeted that he was eavesdropping on liberals who, despite their politics, had to admit that Trump was doing a good job and would win reelection.

"I was in a hipster coffee shop (safe space) here in LA and the libs were whispering to each other how @RealDonaldTrump is doing great for the economy, got them a raise at work and will definitely be re-elected in 2020," Wohl tweeted in January 2018.

In another scheme last year, Wohl tried to launch a news site he claimed would offer “independent journalism.” The site’s reporters, Wohl claimed, would adhere to a rigorous code of ethics, which he posted on the site. That code of ethics was then discovered to have been plagiarized from ProPublica, the nonprofit news organization.

Figures the subtlety is lost on you. The satire comes from twitter banning generic conservatives but allowing tweets from users like Louis Farakhan. Does that seem fair to you?

Does Farakhan violate twitters TOS? If he does pull his account

Well, hes openly anti-semitic on his account. I suppose that would count yet he's still there. Whereas many of the conservatives that have been banned simply post conservative thoughts. The bias is there and documented. Ironically, a few high profile Libs have deleted their accounts in protest of the censorship.

They tried. It went as you would expect it to, just like their dating site.

See? The right needs to twitter to spread fake news and threaten witnesses. To deny them this is unfair.

Do you think thats what all conservatives do and that many Lefties dont spread half truths and bogus memes yet their accounts remain intact?
It seems youre ok with the censorship as long as its your side doing the dubious banning. Congrats?

This isnt memes or joking posts you dolt. He FORGED a judge's signature. I know you cant help but slurp, but be a man enough to admit this is serious shit.

[Stapes]

Jacob Wohl was suspended for creating and operating multiple fake accounts in violation of twitter's terms of service agreements. Not for memes or being a righty. If you remember there was a big problem with fake Russian trolls manipulating the 2016 election and there is big pressure on twitter and facebook to root that shit out. Wohl is just another troll being weeded out for his own admission that he wants to try and manipulate the 2020 presidential election. His own words were "to steer the left-wing votes in the primaries to what we feel are weaker candidates compared with Trump". You guys seem to not mind fraud when its in your interest though which I find pretty telling.

If you werent so quick to jump into a conservation and if you'd have read the thread you would know that cap and I had been discussing twitter's banning of conservative voices in general. Cap implied by saying "the right needs to spread fake news" that all right leaning voices do that. That is incorrect and you and he know it. Yet, you and he seem to be ok with the banning of conservative voices regardless.

Jeezus H. Christ. If this guy violated the terms then twitter should ban him. What I have been talking about is the banning of conservative voices in general for no more offense than being conservative. In other words: they did nothing wrong but still got banned. Fuck this guy.

[kwebber]

What a sad fucking loser that dude is. I hadn't heard of him til I saw this thread. I Googled him, (Jacob Wohl is an American far-right conspiracy theorist, fraudster, and internet troll.). Honestly, what a sad pathetic cunt. He seems like everything that is wrong with social media. He really needs to find a life outside of the internet.

He's talking about Twitter trolls posting memes. Whats the big deal?

This guy forged a judges signature, attempted to frame Avenatti of domestic violence and Mueller of rape allegations. Also went full birther on Kamala Harris. But Bikey says "Just memeing on twitter guys" Is there no limits to your downplaying and ballwashing?

OK, lets concentrate on that narrow field and ignore the rest. The President and his ballwashers love to complain about "fake news" yet when your side does it, it's just some "twitter memes"

Or rather, lets focus on what you want to concentrate on and not what I replied to.
