Former Gab users include white nationalist political candidate Paul Nehlen , who was removed from the site for doxing the man behind the " Ricky Vaughn " Twitter account , and hacker , internet troll , and former '' Daily Stormer '' writer Andrew " Weev " Auernheimer , who was banned for calling for genocide against Jews and endorsing terrorist Timothy McVeigh . Auernheimer 's activity prompted threats from Gab 's then webhost Asia Registry to remove the comments or they would refuse to host the site . Christopher Cantwell , a white supremacist and neo-Nazi activist who " once drove a significant amount of interaction on the small site " , was banned from the site in March 2019 after using the site to advocate in the wake of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings that future mass killers should target and murder left-wing activists , instead of " random people in mosques and synagogues " , in order to effectively silence left-wing activism
