Religious right activist turns up in leaked white nationalist chat
A young Religious Right activist has been identified in the leaked Slack chat logs used by white nationalist group Identity Evropa.
Last week, journalists at Unicorn Riot released batches of logs from chatrooms hosted by the white nationalist group Identity Evropa and an affiliated racist podcast host Nicholas Fuentes. The next day, Identity Evropa was dissolved. Since the chatrooms leaked, anti-fascism researchers have been reviewing the information for clues as to the identities of the people who participated in what had previously been a secretive white nationalist group operating in the United States.
Yesterday, researchers at a site called Panic in the Discord published an article identifying Bentley Hatchett, a young man from Texas who turned up in Identity Evropas chat leaks using his real name, and noted that he claims elsewhere to be an activist in the Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) network. Hatchetts byline appears on the TFP Student Action website.
TFP is a right-wing Catholic group that can often be spotted at Religious Right events dawning ornate caps and crimson capes. It is a vehemently anti-LGBTQ group that has encouraged Catholic colleges to disband organizations that favor the homosexual agenda and argued that debates about marriage equality are really about SOCIALISM. (Emphasis mine, because you know... "socialism")

Look at that economic anxiety.
