Texas Tribune reported Jonathan Stickland, the leader of Defend Texas Liberty PAC, hosted Fuentes, a white supremacist and antisemite, in Fort Worth for nearly 7 hours on Friday.
House Speaker Dade Phelan condemned a conservative PAC leader for hosting white supremacist Nick Fuentes.House Speaker Dade Phelan strongly condemned a major Republican donor and demanded that elected officials return money they received from the group, one day after The Texas Tribune reported that it had recently hosted well-known white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
Phelan is the most high-profile official to respond publicly to the Tribune’s reporting that Jonathan Stickland, the leader of Defend Texas Liberty PAC and a related consulting firm, Pale Horse Strategies, hosted Fuentes in Fort Worth for nearly seven hours on Friday. Fuentes is an avowed admirer of Adolf Hitler, has called for “holy war” against Jews and said that “all I want is revenge against my enemies and a total Aryan victory.” Stickland is a former state representative from Bedford.
Phelan — who has long been at odds with Patrick over policy and political disagreements — directly called out Patrick in his statement, and demanded that “any elected official” who has received money from Defend Texas Liberty of its affiliated organizations “to immediately redirect every single cent of those contributions to a charitable organization of his or her choice.”
“Furthermore, I call upon elected officials and candidates to state unequivocally that they will not accept further contributions, including in-kind contributions, from the Defend Texas Liberty PAC,” Phelan said. “Recently, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick took $3 million from this organization. I expect him to lead the way in redirecting these funds.”
