In August 2020, Minadeo posted a sign in Los Angeles that read "Honk if you know the Jews want a race war."[2] In 2022, he shared online a photograph of himself holding a sign reading "Greenblatt suck 6 million dicks", referring to Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League.[1] He was arrested in Poland in September 2022 after demonstrating at Auschwitz concentration camp.[7] In October 2022, he held a sign that read "KANYE IS RIGHT ABOUT THE JEWS", referring to Kanye West's antisemitism, prompting criticism from California governor Gavin Newsom.[5] US police have acknowledged Minadeo's hate speech is legally permissible under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.[8][5]
