Wendy was presented on KURW Hatewatch from its beginning in March 2021.

She expressed anger & hostility to anyone bashing Trump, supporting Black Lives Matter & public health measures during the pandemic. Her bigotry is mostly racial and trans-hate. Wendy supports conspiracy theories and denies bigotry/extremism by herself and others she knows, including her Red Level Hatewatch friends. She is a member of the Kanab Patriots and promotes Ammon Bundy’s anti-government People’s Rights Network.

I resided in the Kanab, Utah area from 2009 throughout 2020. I created KURW following the January 6, 2021 attempt by domestic extremists to stop the certification of the election which nearly a dozen Kanab area residents participated and were encouraged by the Kanab City Police Chief & fellow law enforcement. I resided most of my life in rural America and was raised in a large, far-right family. Studies show new trends in extremist characteristics, feelings of fear/anger/betrayal, an increase in social media recruitment and incitement, and radicalization as quickly as six months. Concerned residents of the area had collected evidence of public activity beginning with the six months of weekly Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter and MAGA events in Kanab. That documentation, public posts on social media, contribution from community members and outside organizations were compiled to create KURW Hatewatch because I feel like that is the best way that I can address the call for awareness to the threat of extremism.
