MAGA Influencer Whines to Trump About “Homeless Industrial Complex”
A self-proclaimed journalist briefed the president and top U.S. officials on Wednesday on the threat of the “homeless industrial complex.”
At a White House panel discussion on antifa, Jonathan Choe, Frontlines reporter at Turning Point USA, said the political extremism of the ideological left intersects with the “homeless drug crisis.” As proof, he shared a recent report from the Discovery Institute, a conservative propaganda mill that, among other things, advocates an end to classroom teaching about evolution.
The complex, according to those on the right who believe it to be real, is in reality a vast network of nonprofits and their beneficiaries that gobble up federal funds intended for the homeless.
“In many cases, the homeless industrial complex is covering for antifa, and antifa is benefiting from American taxpayer dollars, and they’re basically being used as muscle,” Choe said. said.
He then emphasized Stop swipesa community-coordinated franchise-style campaign that aims to prevent state violence against homeless encampments. People who actually want to help the homeless are apparently not credible to Choe. Instead, he told the president and his allies that the ultimate intent of this organization was to create a public relations crisis for law enforcement.
“What they’re doing quietly is they’re using antifa activists to manufacture a crisis and make the police look bad,” Choe said. (Of course, police are not obligated to brutalize and violently evict homeless people.)
Some recent actions by so-called “antifa activists” include throw a bucket of paint, protest ICE facilitiesAnd burning flag.
But Choe didn’t stop at antifa: instead, he grouped the famous decentralized anti-fascist organization with the Democratic Socialists of America, thereby placing a target on the back of a real political party.
“These far-left progressive groups tend to align with antifa,” Choe said. “There is a deep-seated connection between the antifa-linked nonprofit game of housing the homeless in America and far-left activists.”

For years, Donald Trump and his allies have promoted the idea that violent far-left radicals are wreaking havoc in cities across the country, but their rhetoric is conspicuously devoid of evidence. To quiet the noise, members of the House Intelligence Committee request the CIA and FBI in 2020 to investigate fake intelligence campaigns and find evidence of the anti-fascist group’s “invasion.” Despite reports contrary to Trump’s rhetoric, the noise has not quieted.
The reality is that homelessness is increasing in the United States. An unprecedented national housing shortage, coupled with shallow social safety nets, has morphed into an equally unprecedented increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness. Prices increased by 18 percent in 2024 compared to the previous year, according to data from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development. But these numbers are apparently just a launching pad for building even more confusing conspiracies, as the work of the president’s group of far-right influencers shows.
