Posobiec studied the dark arts of ratfuckery — a Watergate-era term for Nixonian political dirty tricks — at the feet of the master, GOP strategist Roger Stone, who regards him as the torchbearer for his toxic legacy. Stone’s prime directive is, “Attack, attack, attack. Never defend. Admit nothing, deny everything” — a mantra Posobiec has honed like a razor.

…

Posobiec was briefly Washington bureau chief for Rebel Media, a Canadian hard-right news outlet with more YouTube subscribers than the Washington Post and the Associated Press combined — until he and the outlet parted ways in May in the wake of allegations that he’d plagiarized alt-right journalist Jason Kessler, whose name will live in infamy as the organizer of Charlottesville’s violent Unite the Right rally in August.

Posobiec also had a hand in the character assassination of a dead man. Twenty-seven-year-old Seth Rich was voter expansion data director for the DNC in Washington, D.C., when he was murdered on July 10, 2016, in what Washington Metro Police believe was a botched robbery attempt. Given his place of employment and the many open questions about his death, the case was ripe for partisan conspiracy-mongers to fill in the blanks. From the fever swamps of the far-right Internet bubbled a theory: Rich, a lifelong Democrat, was, for some never-explained reason, suddenly disillusioned with the Democratic Party, so he turned whistle-blower and leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks. When the Clintons and the DNC learned of the leak, the theory goes, they had him whacked, then blamed the hack on the Russians.

Though the story was debunked by just about every credible fact-checking and news outlet, Posobiec pimped it hard on Twitter as well as with a sarcastic Seth Rich vigil held outside the DNC on the anniversary of his murder. Eventually even Fox News disavowed the story; an investigator then filed a lawsuit alleging that President Trump himself was coordinating the spread of the rumor, meaning it was now a matter for special counsel Robert Mueller to look into. That’s when Posobiec went dark on the topic. “There were definitely times I’ve talked about different conspiracy theories that are out there, and I talked about the Seth Rich thing,” he says. “You know what, I’m not even going to talk about that stuff anymore.”

After graduating from Temple in 2007, Posobiec worked for the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. He became FLUENT IN MANDARIN and traveled all over the country. When the Sichuan earthquake rocked China that May, killing 69,000, he helped the Chamber raise $3 million from U.S. companies doing business in China. The Philadelphia Orchestra was touring the country at the time, and Posobiec helped coordinate small impromptu concerts in quake-ravaged villages.

He also, improbably, landed a minor role in The Forbidden Kingdom, a martial-arts flick starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Posobiec plays a young street thug from South Boston who bullies and robs the good guys. He’s a natural. “I had three lines, and two of them were cut,” he says, “but I remember staying up all night before auditioning, watching The Departed over and over, trying to get the accent.”

When he returned to the States in late 2008, he reengaged in politics, getting an internship at WPHT — which represents both sides of the talk-radio political spectrum, conservative and very conservative.
