A Texas political consulting firm that caters to far-right conservative clients and that is linked to white nationalists including Donald Trump dinner companion Nick Fuentes decided to try to whitewash future background checks and Google searches into its actions by changing its name to distance itself from news reports.
With some great reporting from the Texas Tribune, in October, journalists photographed the toxic Fuentes entering the offices of Pale Horse Strategies, a firm owned by Jonathan Stickland, a former state rep and the person who controls one of the largest PACs in Texas politics. Strickland has since filed paperwork with the state to change the company’s name to a completely generic white bread brand “West Fort Worth Management LLC.”
And this is why the Texas GOP had to remove a measure that would condemn and ban any association with people who support antisemitic views or Holocaust denialism: had they approved the measure, dozens of them would have had to find a new consultant.
