The Texas Observer reports:
A Fort Worth police report from August 20 acquired by the Texas Observer revealed the identities of four neo-Nazis who were issued trespassing warnings outside of Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, where they distributed antisemitic flyers associated with the Goyim Defense League (GDL): David Bloyed, a 58-year-old resident of Frost; Jeremy Fuller, a 49-year-old resident of Dallas; Barry Young, a 25-year-old resident of Plano; and Matteo Sheffield, a 20-year-old resident of Austin.
The Observer further identified two of these men, Bloyed and Young, among a handful of neo-Nazis who gathered at Torchy’s Tacos in Fort Worth on October 8, where they ate ahead of a protest outside of the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, the world’s largest LGBTQ+ inclusive Christian church. The men were photographed holding hateful signs alongside two white supremacists who were recently arrested in Florida.

In addition to being shared by the communications director of the Republican Speaker of the Texas House, here are two reactions from Republican SREC members to my reporting which noted that an unmasked neo-Nazi previously worked for the new head of Defend Texas Liberty. https://t.co/m3t1n4n7j6 pic.twitter.com/7LTSzQltlq

NEW: We’ve confirmed that Chris Russo – who leads the influential group Texans For Strong Borders – is also a prominent figure in Nick Fuentes’ white supremacist movement. Russo ran multiple anonymous accounts filled with hate speech and slurs. #txlegehttps://t.co/8vQGwaRFNM

I am normally apprehensive abt sharing video when I can’t confirm things abt it. But this is for sure the Torchy’s here in Fort Worth and was recorded by a woman dining there on Sunday. You can clearly see the man w/ the swastika armband had been dining with the other men. 1) pic.twitter.com/skTjqHcYBG
