Judd Blevins, who is fighting to keep his seat on the Enid, Oklahoma, City Council, said he was motivated by “the same issues that got Donald Trump elected."
A City Council member in Enid, Oklahoma, defended marching alongside white nationalists in Virginia in 2017 at a public forum Tuesday night where he was questioned about his connections to racist groups.
Judd Blevins, who faces a recall election next week, declined to provide details of his prior white nationalist activism. Asked about the groups he was affiliated with, including Identity Evropa, once one of the largest U.S. white nationalist organizations, Blevins said those groups no longer exist. He also defended his actions.
“If speaking out against what was being done to this country, what is continuing to be done to this country, is a crime, then I would gladly plead guilty to that,” he said.
“Yes, I throw straight arm salutes, denigrate Jewish people, and hang out with my Nazi cosplay community discussing plans for a holocaust reenactment, but Nazis don’t exist any more so that’s fine.”
I would bet money that this guy supports Israel for all the wrong reasons
You mean his bizzarro evangelical Christianity would outweigh his fetid white supremacy beliefs?
I’d take that bet.
It can be both. Not only do these people want proof of concept for ethnostates but they also like the fact that it keeps the ‘others’ segragated to their state. The fact that this particular ethnostate enacts violence on brown populations is just a big rosy bonus for them.
