In March 2019, Gionet attempted to distance himself from the alt-right and meme culture, which he criticized as hateful and a source of terrorism and violence. He released an emotional video in which he apologized for his past participation in meme culture and claimed that it was responsible for radicalizing people, also linking 8chan to the Christchurch mosque shootings.[31][32] However, in November 2019 Gionet changed his politics again, deleting his apology videos and collaborating with the white supremacist "groyper" movement in its trolling of rallies held by Turning Point USA.[33]
