The leader of one of Texas' highest-profile conservative political action committees is under fire for meeting for nearly seven hours Friday with white supremacist Nick Fuentes, the Texas Tribune reports.

Jonathan Stickland, who reportedly met with Fuentes, leads the Defend Texas Liberty PAC, which gave $3 million in loans and donations to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
Jonathan Stickland — leader of the Defend Texas Liberty PAC and owner of Pale Horse Strategies, a political consulting group — hosted prominent white supremacist Nick Fuentes and other extreme-right activists for much of the day Friday at the consultancy's Fort Worth office, according to the Tribune. Strickland served as a GOP member of the Texas House from 2013 until 2021.
Contacted two days later, Rinaldi denied he knew Fuentes was on the premises, the Tribune reports. The GOP chair reportedly offered screenshots of text messages from Friday morning in which he rescheduled a meeting for 1:45 p.m. at the Pale Horse office with Texas GOP Executive Director Jen Hall. According to the Tribune, Rinaldi arrived shortly before 1:45 p.m. and left 45 minutes later.
The reported meeting between Strickland and Fuentes has drawn condemnation from at least two Texas Republicans, who said elected officials should return any donations they've received from Defend Texas Liberty.. “It’s indicative of the moral, political rot that has been festering in a certain segment of our party for far too long. Anti-Semitism, bigotry and Hitler apologists should find no sanctuary in the Republican party. Period.
