Outspoken East Tennessee white nationalist at Fort Sanders rally once active in Occupy, communist groups
[KnoxNews] One of the most visible white nationalists at the recent Fort Sanders Confederate monument demonstration was, until until a few years ago, active in communist organizations, the Occupy movement and protests against racism.
Garon Archer, a native of Johnson City, was the protester on Aug. 26 who repeatedly screamed, "The Southern nation is a white nation."
He said he came to last Saturday’s demonstration to represent the League of the South, an Alabama-based white supremacist group that has said it considers mainstream U.S. culture "corrupt" and is rebelling against the "politically correct" and multicultural diversity in the South.
Two weeks earlier, Archer was visible in "Democracy Now!" footage of the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Clad in a baseball helmet and holding a shield, he attacked a counter-protester. At a similar rally in New Orleans, he was recorded screaming racial slurs at a black woman.
I didn't watch the videos, but if you click through to the article, they have videos of this guy in his various incarnations as white nationalist and Occupy Johnson City...
