Jake Lang, the notorious far-right MAGA influencer andRepublican Senate candidate, is once again under fire after unverified screenshots surfaced showing him allegedly exchanging inappropriate messages with a 15-year-old.
The Florida politician, already infamous for his involvement in theJanuary 6 Capitol riotsand recent public stunts in New York City, now faces a new wave of social media outrage and calls for his arrest.
Over the past week, screenshots purportedly showing Lang texting a minor have gone viral on Instagram and Reddit. According to posts circulating online, the messages involved a person claiming to be 15 years old, with Lang allegedly commenting on their age in ways critics say were inappropriate.
Users immediately raised questions and demanded explanations. One social media page wrote directly to Lang: 'Care to explain these texts?'
Langrespondedby sharing screenshots of a conversation with Alex Rosen, founder of Houston-based Predator Poachers, an organisation that conducts sting operations on adults attempting to contact minors.
In the exchange, Lang wrote: 'Nice fake set up groypers – but I wouldn't even allow this person to attend my protests until they were 16.' He insisted he never intended to engage with a minor and blamed the situation on the Groypers, a faction led by far-right activist Nick Fuentes, while promising legal action against the claims.

Lang's alleged messaging scandal comes on the heels of a series ofcontroversial stunts in New York. On 7 March 2026, he led a 'Stop the Islamic Takeover of NYC' protest outside Gracie Mansion, home of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The protest escalated when counterprotesters allegedly threw improvised explosive devices.
