The Texas Tribune reports:
Jonathan Stickland [photo], the ultraconservative leader of a group that has donated millions of dollars to high-profile Texas leaders, hosted prominent white supremacist Nick Fuentes and other right-wing activists for several hours on Friday. Acting on a tip, a Texas Tribune reporter and photographer observed Fuentes and others — including Kyle Rittenhouse — enter a one-story office building in a remote business park in west Fort Worth.
The building is the headquarters for Pale Horse Strategies, a consulting firm for right-wing candidates that is owned by Stickland. Fuentes arrived around 11 a.m. and left just after 5:30 p.m. Matt Rinaldi, the chair of the Republican Party of Texas and an ally of Stickland, was also seen entering the building while Fuentes was inside. Reached by phone on Sunday, Rinaldi denied that he had any knowledge that Fuentes was on the premises.
Read the full article. During his time in the Texas House, Jonathan Strickland appeared here several times for his bizarre pronouncements such as 2020’s “if aliens exist, they need Jesus” and his 2019 rant that all vaccines are created by “communist sorcery.”
