THREAD: This is Steve Hartley, President of the Philadelphia Proud Boys, an @splcenter-designated hate group.
He's Logistics Manager for @Amexpediting, a same-day courier service.
@Amexpediting, do you really want to give a hate group member access to people's home addresses?
1/12 While Augustus Invictus' declaration that he's the "new head of the Proud Boys" is likely a prank, it does highlight a fluid relationship between the overtly racist elements of the far right & PB, whose disavowal of white nationalism has provided cover for their violence
Last year, a member of a violent neo-nazi group confessed that the org had attracted US military personnel, and wanted to recruit more.
It’s unclear how seriously the military is taking the matter.

While @phillydotcom's front page said there was "no sign of hate groups" at the "We The People" rally, the reality on the ground was much different.
Several 'Proud Boys' members involved in previous violent attacks were documented attending the event.
