Cassandra Fairbanks, a right-wing activist and writer at the pro-Trump blog The Gateway Pundit, approvingly read passages from the Unabomber Manifesto last weekend in a late-night live video on Twitter, where she has hundreds of thousands of followers.

Fairbanks was an early networking node in the pro-Trump social media ecosystem that rose to prominence with the election of President Donald Trump in 2016. A close affiliate of Wikileak’s Julian Assange and of various prominent pro-Trump influencers, Fairbanks has in recent months veered into harder right-wing spaces, voicing support for so-called “groyper” white nationalist communities, and fraternizing with white nationalist activists including Nicholas Fuentes and Matthew Colligan, who attended the violent Unite the Right white supremacist gathering in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.

On May 3, at approximately 4 a.m. in Washington, where she resides, Fairbanks appeared on camera in a dimly lit room with an open, bound text containing the Unabomber Manifesto. Theodore J. Kaczynski—dubbed the Unabomber—is a domestic terrorist serving life in prison for sending mail bombs that killed and seriously wounded multiple people between 1978 and 1995. Kaczynski pleaded guilty to mailing bombs after his manifesto against the industrialized world was published in The Washington Post and he was identified as the Unabomber by his brother.

6. A Void That Didn't Need Filling

The most important void is the one between her ears.

5. MAGA "Influencer" Praises Unabomber

She is notorious for a certain incident at the White House in 2017:

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday dismissed a defamation lawsuit against a former Fusion reporter.

In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden said that the plaintiff, Cassandra Fairbanks, failed to prove that reporter Emma Roller intentionally defamed her when she suggested in a tweet that Fairbanks had made a "white power hand gesture" in a photo taken at the White House.

8. Politically she's all over the place..and is probably just an opportuntist troll

She has no compass. She went from left to right.

Fairbanks's activism began with Greenpeace environmentalism, followed by animal rights protests at SeaWorld and circuses. In 2013, she took part in the hacktivist collective Anonymous and helped run a popular Anonymous Twitter account.[8] By then living in Pittsburgh, she traveled to Ohio and helped organize the outcry over the Steubenville High School rape case.[4] In 2015, Fairbanks spent several months with Black Lives Matter in Ferguson, Missouri, amid civil unrest stemming from the 2014 fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a police officer.[12]

In 2016, Cassandra Fairbanks "underwent something of a political transformation," according to BBC News.[3] Having begun the year as a supporter of Hillary Clinton's main rival within the Democratic Party, Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, Fairbanks was by fall rallying her 70K Twitter followers to support Donald Trump.[3] In an October 2016 episode of BBC Television's Panorama, the world's longest-running news television program,[17] Fairbanks said, "I'm going to be voting for Donald Trump. I think that Hillary Clinton is a terribly dangerous person."[18]
