Perrine has close ties to GDL leader Jon Minadeo II, who has been featured twice as StopAntisemitism's 'Antisemite of the Week' for his grotesque antisemitic actions towards the Jewish community. In June of 2023, Minadeo praised Perrine for his involvement with the ongoing antisemitic call-ins to Walnut City Council meetings in which there was a string of harassment towards the Jewish community involving propaganda and tropes of "Jewish control of the media." Perrine joined members of White Lives Matter and GDL last month to distribute antisemitic propaganda throughout various cities, bragging on a voice memo of his involvement.
Despite the innocent image he attempts to display in his political aspirations, Perrine has a violent past. In 2018, Perrine was taped at a Portland protest engaging in the violent beating of a jogger who challenged Perrine and other Proud Boys' views. He was later arrested when he took a bullhorn and stated that illegal immigrants should have their "heads smashed into the concrete." While running for a local government position in Sacramento, Perrine was taped making verbal threats and physical advances towards his opponent. In March of 2023, Perrine was arrested for harassing and stalking a pastor at his place of work. As he was arrested, he continually called the arresting officers "ZOGbots," a term related to the conspiracy theory known as "ZOG" or "Zionist Occupied Government," asserting that the U.S. Government is controlled by Jews.
