“Jared Taylor Swift” is an amalgam of Taylor Swift and Jared Taylor, a well-known right wing writer.
The people do exist but the names are made up, which the leftist authoress did not seem to notice or even be interested in.
It seems so obvious now.
Pepe is Kek.
Kek is Pepe.
All praise Kek, Bringer of light!
Jared Taylor is a skull-measuring atheist racialist, just like the late, unlamented Sam what's-his-name.
Why white chrstians support such evil people and Black chrstians support evil Marxist atheists makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, unless they think their chromosomes are more important than G-d A-mighty.
Hey man, I’m just pointing out his attempt at clever nom de plume-e-nous is all.
