Next on the White Power Chopping Block: Max Misch

Those who participate in Black Lives Matter campaigns know that the chuds will come out to try to hassle them. Those who are participating in those campaigns in Bennington, Vermont know that chud will more than likely be a ethnically Jewish White Nationalist named Max Misch.

BENNINGTON, VT – Self-proclaimed White Nationalist Max Misch, who is known for harassing the first Black woman elected to the Vermont House of Representatives to the point that she resigned, was arrested Aug. 30 at a Black Lives Matter (BLM) effort for crossing a line and walking through the wet paint of a BLM road mural they were attempting to paint.

According to the VT Digger, Misch, 37, was one of a group of several anti-BLM protesters who had gathered in front of the police department, across the street from the mural, and sat on the mural’s first several letters, blocking painters from painting the “B” and “L” in “Black.” When a group of people from both sides of the conflict surrounded them, police kept from making arrests until things escalated. Misch engaged in a verbal altercation with a painter that caused paint to spill and then walked through the mural with wet paint on his shoes. He was charged with disorderly conduct — tampering with painted portions of the mural and for pushing and shoving.

Max Misch, an Iraq war veteran has originally from Bayside Queens, a community in New York City known for tensions between the formerly mostly White residents and Hispanic and Asian residents who have been moving in. Moving to Bennington several years ago, he soon divorced his wife with accusations of him strangling her that were eventually dismissed in court. Under the screen name maxmisch83, he was active in the Stormer Book Club which was a project of the neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer, He reportedly used the book club and other social media to create a campaign of terror against Kaih Morris who was the first black woman to be elected to the VT House of Representatives, sometimes even show up in person to menace Morris. Eventually Kiah Morris resigned due to the harassment.

Misch has been known to spread antisemitic conspiracy theories despite being himself ethnically Jewish, even having been Bar Mitzvoh.

As a Jew, I found December 2016 exchange between Max Misch and Judge Cohen to be of the highest humor. Max is Jewish too, a Bar Mitzvah even, but loathes Jews. Here’s the full 2016 court transcript when Cohen issued the restraining order : https://t.co/ZcpOodJxu2 pic.twitter.com/hGN5kjBIHP

He was arrested in 2019 for violating VT’s new gun magazine ban/limit, reportedly getting his ex-wife drive him to a store in New Hampshire where he purchased a number of magazines that exceed the Vermont 10 round limit for long guns.

Currently Misch reportedly spends a lot of time trolling online through his own and sock puppet accounts and often shows up to oppose BLM events. He was present at a BLM protest in June where he was photographed with Karen Cummings Skau, a persistent booster of a conspiracy theory movement Qanon, which has been criticized for having roots in old antisemitic blood libel tropes. and her husband David Skau – a former Florida Sheriffs deputy who has worked in security since leaving the state.

Recently, a video surfaced of another regular companion, television hunting program host Kevin Hoyt, ranting about Misch being attacked by a Black man who according to him, drove from the scene. At press time it could not be confirmed that such an incident even occurred. Misch does not appear in the video. Hoyt has also had run-ins with the law for charges ranging from hunting violations – possessing a deer skull out of season – to a 2007 charge that was eventually dismissed of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child. He is currently running for governor of Vermont.

If convicted on this current charge, Misch could receive a maximum penalty of up to a year in prison and a $500 fine on each charge.
