Parler admin is throwing his toys out of the pram.

[Mr. Sparkle]

now that he is on the other end of hate(which his site is setup to do), he doesn't like it much

Over the past few weeks, Parler has been repeatedly mischaracterized and treated unjustly. But the recent personal attacks on our CEO John, his wife Alina, and their family are reprehensible.

Alina, whose working-class family lived in the former Soviet Union, came to America to start her own multi-racial, interfaith family with John. To subject them to baseless accusations that their marriage is part of some twisted espionage scheme—all because she is an immigrant—is precisely the sort of “racism, nativism, fear, [and] demonization” President Biden urged us to reject in his inaugural address.

The Entire Parler Team stands behind John and Alina. Our new President called for unity: “We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal. We can do this, if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts.” The smears against John and Alina are exactly the sort of tactics he is imploring us all to abandon. Let’s all commit to working together toward unity and healing.

1. "Reprehensible." Hmmm.

[Cirque du So-What]

3. But when THEY make personal attacks, it's patriotic

[SheltieLover]

2. Russian connection. Who is surprised?

[TwilightZone]

4. What did he expect to happen?

It pisses me off to no end when jackasses like this play dumb and pretend they don't know what's going on.

Exactly what he wanted to happen happened, then he couldn't take it when it was directed at him.

Stop whining, you twit. You asked for this.

5. Multi-Racial??????

What multi-races are these people?

7. Multiracial interfaith

So she's probably Jewish, like me, or perhaps Muslim? A Semite, not Caucasian.

I'm aware of numerous debates concerning the Jewish race, and whether white Jews are considered Caucasian, or a separate race.

Very telling, could have just said interfaith but they had to bring up the belief that we semites are not part of the white/Caucasian race. Personally, I list my race as "other" whenever I need to check that box, because I don't want to claim membership to the white race.

I'm a Jewish woman, not a white woman.
(No offense to the many wonderful white women here at DU, or elsewhere.)

And actually, on the census, and when I can write in a response, I reply as follows:
Race: Human

8. It's not her

I was focusing on her and didn't even think about his name.

Matze.

12. That is not the case...

Earlier stories out of the Parler mia culpas said she was a refugee from persecution for being a christian in whatever her native area.

6. Guess what John.......

9. Talking out of both sides of their mouth. No sympathies.

[stopdiggin]

10. Oh, I AGREE completely!

It's just to bad that you had to go and build a platform centered around hosting just this sort of deplorable racist/anti-immigrant/misogynistic/nationalistic diarrhea.

Stay strong in your core beliefs, John and Alina! ---- --- --- ----

11. Also....

There's no way he met and married this girl while she was on a "Two week roadtrip across the country"

I'm expected to believe that this girl went on vacation to the US, met this dipshit in Vegas, and decided she wanted to marry him. This guy definitely bought her from a mail-order-bride website. This is like Greg Maddux pitching to Donald Trump she's so far out of his league.

15. Here's a link to more about their 'meeting' and marriage arranged by his MIL...

https://www.the-sun.com/news/2118059/john-matzes-wife-alina-mukhutdinova-parler-maga/

Some choice bits:

"Mukhutidinova is from Kazan, Russia, and she was on a two week road trip vacation across the United States with a friend when she met Matze.
Troy reported that Mukhutidinova's mother's name is Gulnara, a longtime government functionary who was an "Honored Builder of Russia" in Soviet times."

"They were reportedly married in a government facility overseen by Gulnara Mukhutdinova.
Matze and his wife traveled in Russia and Europe extensively between December and July 2018, reported Troy, until they finally settled in Las Vegas where they launched Parler in August 2018."

13. "Free speech" bully

Mad at other free speech bullies.

[Crunchy Frog]

14. So what steps is HE taking taking to promote unity?

I mean besides whining about how much of a victim he is?

At this point he's simply getting a taste of what he himself has promoted. I don't condone that sort of thing for anyone, however despicable they are, but I don't have any particular sympathy for him either.
