“'He demonized his perceived adversaries, glorified use of force, and distributed violent propaganda to thousands and thousands of followers. He elevated street fighting elements with so-called "rally boys’"[and] he practiced and endorsed the use of misinformation, plausible deniability, deceiving the public…[and] cultivating fear.'

Tarrio, Mulroe reminded the judge, had compared himself to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels for his use of these techniques."
