Tracking Down The Insurrectionists: The My Zillow Guy




It takes a certain kind of MAGA stupid to participate in the violent Trumpist insurrection against our democracy and then to advertise your weaponry when you put your house up for sale on Zillow. But that's what unhinged Floriduh man and Trump cultist Jeremy Brown did. When Brown was arrested by the FBI last month, they found a cache of ammunition (8,000 rounds), a shotgun and a rifle, and two grenades in his house. Later, when Brown put his house up for sale, they noticed that his office, as pictured on Zillow, had a whiteboard with a list of weapons and explosives. On Friday, the FBI applied for a search warrant for a trailer on Brown's property, where they suspect the hidden illegal explosives and more weapons may be found.  

Brown was photographed on the Capitol grounds on January 6 wearing extremist Oath Keepers military gear, which led to his arrest. He used his RV to transport fellow seditionists to the Capitol, sharing in a group chat that, "We have a RV an[d] Van going. Plenty of Gun Ports left to fill. We can pick you up.” Unsurprisingly, Brown attempted to run as a Republican candidate for Florida's 14th Congressional district, but never got on the ballot in the general election. Keep trying, Jeremy. You're the future face of the Republican / Seditionist / New Confederate Party, whether you sell that house from jail or not.
