The profile picture on the @DanPurdy322 account was a cartoon of a Black man wearing a beanie as its avatar and a Trump 2020 logo as its header. A quick look through the account revealed a history of racist and sexist remarks, including “Black people can’t count” and “Black women will be the death of America”.

Then, things got weird: the account posted a video of a Black man who claimed to be Dan Purdy himself, and insisted that Browning’s tweet was a real message from him.



...
Internet sleuths began to uncover the many different names “Dan Purdy” uses online. On LinkedIn he goes by the name William Holte, and on Twitter he’s listed under a suspended account with several other aliases, including “Pat Riarchy” and “White Goodman”.

Stranger still, Dan Purdy’s photos and avatar have been traced to the Facebook account of Byl Holte, otherwise known as the adopted son and nephew of music legend Patti LaBelle. Yes, really.

While this may seem like a stretch, Byl Holte has actually written several articles on Medium complaining about feminism and anti-racism in the media and proudly calls himself an “anti-feminist TV critic”, according to Vox.

Twitter has suspended the danpurdy322 account.

... while I purport to be someone else.

This Internet stuff is so darned confusing for simple minded charlatans, cheats, and liars.
