They thought they could claim him as their symbol, he added. But they cant. Hes a character that Matt Furie createdand Matt has watched as the alt right tried to associate him with hateful ideas and symbols. The childrens book was really a breaking point it was the point at which Matt decided to stand up and fight back.

We need to collectively stand up to white supremacists, whenever and however we can, Tompros told Gizmodo. And one way Matt can is by telling the white supremacists that they cant have Pepe. Were helping him do that. Matt is going to aggressively enforce his intellectual property against anyone espousing racism, white supremacy, Islamophobia, or any other kind of hate, he added.
