Peinovich actively encourages his fans to participate in political discussions every day. The current iteration of his forum has just shy of 10,000 users, according to Newsweek’s analysis. There, white men gather to discuss everything from anti-Semitic conspiracies to whether or not "men hurt more after a breakup than women do," which is the headline of a recent discussion thread on that site. Newsweek reached out to Peinovich multiple times for comment on this story but did not receive a response.
The 41-year-old Peinovich knows something about losing anonymity. He produced massive amounts of white supremacist propaganda under a stage name for years before having his personal details leaked online by anti-fascist activists in January 2017. The Jersey native, who is currently living in New York, was revealed to be married to a Jewish woman, which proved to be a controversial detail due to the often naked anti-Semitism of alt-right politics. Critics within the alt-right movement have more recently unearthed the detail that Peinovich’s mother is a vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton, something he has acknowledged, and has been forced to defend on his podcasts to skeptical fans.
Peinovich may want to protect his fans from experiencing a similar fate, but simply suggesting the degree to which their lives may be inconvenienced by having their information laid bare is not an effective argument, according to David Hyman, a law professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
“Private and privileged are not the same thing,” he told Newsweek, referring to the types of information that cannot be requested in a court case. Nothing prevents you from having your identity revealed “if the judge concludes that it is relevant,” he said.
Peinovich has expressed palpable frustration and rage with the Sines v. Kessler lawsuit on his podcasts in recent months. On a February 28 episode of his most popular show The Daily Shoah—the name is a pun mocking the genocide of the Jews during World War II—he erupted about Kaplan. “Alright, Roberta Kaplan, you poor, swine, sweaty dyke-y, little f****** Jewish lesbian!” he said. “F*** you! You don’t even know how the internet works.”
Kaplan told Newsweek that Peinovich has struck a much more deferential tone in front of the judge. During a telephonic court hearing on March 16, for example, he admitted to being at a disadvantage while representing himself, according to a transcript of that conversation that was provided to Newsweek by Kaplan.
“I'm a pro se defendant,” Peinovich told the judge. “I'm kind of up against a lot of stuff here."
