A YouTube video shows a St. Louis political “Tea Party” group member has confronted a self-proclaimed “racist” and “separatist” white individual wearing a shirt with the Neo-Nazi logo “Blood and Honor” group, stating that the individual with the Nazi group shirt does not represent the values of the Tea Party political group.

The individual with the Nazi shirt stated at one point that he was with the “Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,” and then asks the person filming and questioning him if he was a “member of the Council of Conservative Citizens” (CofCC), which is a “white nationalist” group.  As R.E.A.L. has previously reported, in Florida, the CofCC has repeatedly attempted to infiltrated Tea Party political events, and subsequently the CofCC created its own “Tea Party” group, which was rejected by other Florida “Tea Party” organizations.  When the St. Louis “Tea Party” representative says that he does not belong to the CofCC, the individual in the Nazi shirt clearly says “I do” [belong to the CofCC].

On the YouTube video, the St. Louis Tea Party representative rejects these groups and the Nazi shirt with a small swastika on it as not representative of the Tea Party group values, stating “the swastika is not welcome at the Tea Party.”  The individual with the Nazi shirt states “I don’t care what you stand for, I care what I stand for.”  He also tells the videographer that “I probably go to church more than you, I am a trustee.”

The self-proclaimed “racist” attendee states that “I am proud to be a racist… I am not a Nazi, I am a proud racist, I am white.”  He then angrily states “if more people stood up for the white rights, you would not need 25 percent blacks on a job…”  He then tells the person with the Tea Party political group “you guys are a bunch of wimps, you need to stand up for your racial purity.”  When he then states that “I am a separatist,” the  Tea Party representative replies “then separate yourself .”

For those who are unfamiliar with the “Blood and Honor” Nazi group, Against Nazi has previously reported that it was a U.K.-founded group with U.S. supporters. “Blood and Honor” Nazi events have been promoted on the “white nationalist hate group” Stormfront, headquartered in Florida, and who were big promoters of the failed Washington DC area “American Renaissance” event that was cancelled in February 2010.  The self-proclaimed “racist” individual at the St. Louis public event was wearing a Nazi and skinhead promoting shirt and hat.  The “deaths head” logo on the front of the Nazi’s shirt and his hat are products that we have seen before.  The back of the shirt is not something we have seen before, but elements of it are consistent with other B&H and Aryan supremacist merchandise.

R.E.A.L. has also previously reported on the efforts of other “white nationalist” groups such as the Occidental Dissent, the Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC), and their supporters to attempt to infiltrate and persuade Tea Party groups to adopt racial hatred.  The Occidental Dissent claimed success on April 15 by infiltrating a Washington DC based Tea Party event.   The Occidental Dissent, whose mission is the “the creation of a Jew-free, racially exclusive White ethnostate in North America,” used the Gadsden Flag as way to integrate with the Tea Party April 15 event, despite their open and clear contempt for the United States of America.

On April 15, 2010, “Hunter Wallace” of the white nationalist Occidental Dissent wrote:

“I will say this though: there is a common thread that unites the Tea Party protesters with the militias and gun enthusiasts (and the White Nationalists) we saw in Kentucky. All of these groups are starting to rally around a common anti-government symbol: the Gadsden flag.”
“Where there is smoke, there is fire… Several of the Tea Party signs were caricatures of Obama that struck me as mildly negrophobic. They had slightly exaggerated racial features that brought to mind the Jim Crow minstrel show cartoons that I collect back home. The punchline: this man in the White House, the bloodsucking illegitimate thief stealing our money, is a sort of absurd African foreigner. This type of milquetoast racial humor seemed to be quite popular among the crowd.”
“Carl Cameron of FOX News made an appearance. I stood less than five feet away from him waving the Gadsden flag in the background of the U.S. Capitol. I don’t know if any of this was on television. There were other ‘Alternative Right’ commentators on the ground in DC. We saw someone from The Political Cesspool walking among the crowd. Stuff Black People Don’t Like was on the scene and chatted with us. The racialist alternative media has grown by leaps and bounds over the past year.”

R.E.A.L. has repeatedly seen the use of the Gadsden flag not only by political groups, but also by anti-American groups such as the Occidental Dissent whose leader seeks to recreate a white nationalist Confederate States of America.    The self-proclaimed racist who was chased from the St. Louis Tea Party political event stated that he was a member of the white nationalist Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC); this same CofCC also widely promotes the use of the Gadsden flag as part of its events as well, and has been doing since before the existence of the “Tea Party” political groups.
