Jeff Tischauser, an anti-fascist and radical leftist, has been accused of attempting to incite violence against political opponent Kai Nix through false reporting. Tischauser alleged that Nix had informed on associates linked to a group known as Terrorgram, claiming that these associates were arrested two weeks after Nix"s arrest due to his cooperation. However, Nix"s case is reportedly unsealed, and there are no indications of any cooperation mentioned in the case documents.
The only evidence connecting anyone to Terrorgram appears to be the case of Andrew Takhistov v. United States. According to a Department of Justice (DOJ) article regarding Takhistov"s arrest, he was linked to Terrorgram following a statement by the DOJ about a planned attack on energy facilities in New Jersey in July 2024. This case was sealed immediately after being unsealed, suggesting open cooperation, as Takhistov is of age for a public case. The enclosing document details the involvement of agents in the arrest.
Critics have argued that Tischauser"s actions represent a manipulation of journalistic integrity, aiming to slander Nix and provoke a reaction from far-right audiences. This situation has drawn comparisons to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, with claims that leftist agitators like Tischauser contribute to such violence.
