If this sub and local activists have been hit by bad-faith actors, just know it isn’t random and now we have names.

Accountable Arizona just published a breakdown of several Arizona-connected TPUSA-backed content creators whose explicit goal is to provoke, film, and flood social media with out-of-context clips.

This is a resource so our community knows exactly who these people are and how they operate.

Who they are:

• RC Maxwell (Maricopa County GOP) — filmed student anti-ICE walkouts; his Zipps protest footage hit 1.4M views on X
• Kalen D’Almeida — physically assaulted an ASU professor on camera in 2023, admitted guilt; TPUSA kept him until late 2025
• Taylor Sharp — focused on Yavapai County in the past, currently in Scottsdale; appeared with James O’Keefe at AmericaFest 2025

TPUSA’s “Frontlines” arm funds and amplifies this content intentionally to create viral content. Yes, you read that right. TPUSA is paying young men to undermine our constitutional right to free speech and peaceful protest. I hope they all get diarrhea today.

Anyways, I wanted to create a space to document their activity publicly.
