Meet Christo Makropoulous. He wants you to subscribe to his You Tube channel where he yells racist things to politicians while trying to fight racism and support Trump. Oh, and he likes Lyndon LaRouche. Take an asprin before reading this.

WOODBRIDGE, NJ – A Trump supporting gadfly who is running for the Edison, NJ Board of Election via a PAC associated with the late Lyndon LaRouche appeared at the local town council meeting wearing a MAGA hat and a Confederate flag around his waist and caused alarm when people saw him taping Black students speaking there. It was the latest in a series of racist antics he has engaged in around Central New Jersey.

Although Christo Makropoulos resides in nearby Edison, NJ, he has been attending the town council meetings in Woodbridge for some time. According to Kyle Anderson, the only Black councilmember in Woodbridge, Makropoulous specifically targeted him with the Confederate flag, waving it at him as he spoke. Later, he followed Anderson to his car and began harassing him because as Middlesex County’s Interim Superintendent of Schools he recommended in June to shut down a neighborhood school in New Brunswick, NJ, forcing the mostly low-income Latino school population to study at a converted warehouse on the edge of town until a new school can be constructed.

While this issue has long been a source of contention among residents in the city, Makropoulous has been seen as using the issue to advance particularly twisted personal politics that despite his expressed concern in this issue with Latino children still rabidly bigoted. In the video where he confronted Anderson at his car, he accused him of not being entirely supportive of the Black community because he is biracial, and not completely Black. In an earlier video, he confronted Anderson as he walked into the town hall and accused him of being a “homo”.

Makropoulous routinely records video of him for his You Tube channel “Jersey Watcher” attending town council meetings and similar to his engagement with Anderson, confronting individuals in the parking lot either beforehand or after while making a spectacle of himself. He generated local headlines after getting into a verbal altercation outside the Edison Municipal Building after a town council meeting where racist flyers targeting Asian candidates for the Board of Education was discussed while he held a sign targeting the Indian candidate on the flyer as well as the mayor of Edison. “If Indians sent out racist flyers intimidating other Indians and Chinese to blame the fucking white man, shut the fuck up!” Christo Makropoulos said, in his now deleted video. “You guys are fucking cowards, all of you. You fucking Indian scum.” Later in the video, he would ask officers to subscribe to his You Tube channel and say, “This is a public event, I’m allowed my opinion.  If they don’t like it, they can hop on a plane and go back to India.”

Makropoulous ran to be on the school board last year but ended up getting the least number of votes of all the candidates. He is currently running again, touting himself as being supported by LaRouchePAC, a political action committee founded by fraudster Lyndon LaRouche, who believed along with his followers that the United States is being secretly run by the British Monarchy. Makropoulous was named in a lawsuit in January by an Edison teacher who says he and three others libeled her on social media networks after they got her identity mixed up with another Middlesex County school teacher who was fired in 2006 after being accused of having sex with a student.
