Charles C. Johnson is a polarizing figure whose online presence became fodder for memes due to his aggressive investigative style and a series of bizarre, often unverified rumors. Most notably, a persistent and absurd urban legend regarding an incident during his time at Claremont McKenna College turned his likeness into a symbol for 'unhinged' or 'chaotic' energy. The meme typically features his headshot and is used to mock self-serious political 'reveals' or to reference the strange intersection of fringe journalism and digital subcultures. It remains a staple in niche political circles on Twitter and 4chan where users highlight the absurdity of modern media figures.
