The RNC’s first primary debate livestreamed exclusively on Rumble, a platform overrun with QAnon content, violent threats, and bigotry

Content warning: This article contains numerous examples of bigoted and violent rhetoric.

The August 23 Republican presidential primary debate will be exclusively livestreamed on the right-wing video-sharing site Rumble, a platform overrun with extreme content that denies the Holocaust, promotes violent threats, and spreads bigotry. Rumble has repeatedly monetized and profited from ads running on QAnon conspiracy theorist and white nationalist content on its platform. Notably, when reporting on Rumble, mainstream media outlets have failed to note that extreme content dominates the platform.
