Ali Abdul-Razaq Ali, 35, who goes by Ali Alexander, is a far-right activist from Fort Worth, Texas

“Ali Alexander” is a convicted felon

In what would be hilariously funny under less serious circumstances, Ali Alexander, a lead organizer of “Stop the Steal,” is a felon convicted for theft.

“Alexander is a convicted felon, after pleading guilty to felony property theft in 2007 and felony credit card abuse in 2008. Alexander first appeared in conservative politics in the Tea Party era under the name ‘Ali Akbar,’ organizing a group called the National Bloggers’ Club that was tied to shady data collection operations’.” (The Daily Beast).

Ali Alexander is Ali Abdul-Razaq Ali (per the Daily Mail) and was born Ali Akbar (per Bayoubrief.com). Ali (whatever his name is) pleaded guilty to these two separate felony charges in 2007 and 2008 in Forth Worth Texas.

Ali organized the violent insurrection at our nation’s capitol on Jan. 6, and has now claimed that he had organizing assistance from Reps. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), and Mo Brooks (R-AL) for the Jan. 6 protest. “We four schemed up putting maximum pressure on Congress while they were voting,” Alexander said in a video posted before the Jan. 6 protest.

And, although Ali claimed that the protest would be peaceful, he repeatedly raised the prospect of using violence in the weeks ahead of Jan. 6.

More about Ali (per Mother Jones):

He went viral claiming that Kamala Harris wasn’t an “American Black,” because she was of Jamaican and Indian heritage, instead of descending from African-Americans,

He publicly notes people who are Jewish,

He made a sensationalist video with Jacob Wohl and Laura Loomer, the Islamaphobic failed Congressional candidate, wherein Wohl seemingly fakes the group receiving death threats during filming,

Ali seems to be a con man who rakes in money and notoriety by stoking up fear and hatred. And, this felon has threatened our democracy.
