White Nationalist Leader Posts Pictures From White House Grounds
The executive director of a white nationalist group on Wednesday tweeted pictures of himself posing outside the White House.
It wasn’t immediately clear how Patrick Casey, executive director of the white nationalist group Identity Evropa, ended up at the White House. TPM has reached out to White House spokespeople for comment.
Identity Evropa is known for its
efforts to recrui students to the white nationalist cause. The group was founded by Nathan Damigo, who
helped organize the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last year at which one counter-protester was
killed by a neo-Nazi.
Damigo is also known for
crashing a public film project created in 2017 by the actor Shia LeBeouf. “Shia LeBeouf, you will not replace us with your globalism!” Damigo said, as the event was being live-streamed on the internet. The chants “You will not replace us” and “Jews will not replace us” later became perhaps the most memorable audio from the Charlottesville rally.
