From the article:
At the Texas Republican Partys 2018 convention, Ray Myers was a part of a select group of activists charged with crafting the platform for the biggest and most influential state party in the country. Myers is also a white nationalist, a fact that he declared last week. Damn Right, Im a WHITE NATIONALIST and very Proud of it, Myers wrote in a Facebook post last Tuesday.
Myers is a 74-year-old activist who has been involved in GOP politics for decades. But the pivotal political moment came when Obama came on the scene. I knew immediately that America was in trouble, he said in an Empower Texans profile. Soon after, he founded a tea party chapter in Kaufman County, just east of Dallas. More recently, Myers was a member of Ted Cruzs Texas Leadership Team during his presidential campaign, served as a Cruz delegate at the RNC convention and went on to become a Trump volunteer, according to his Facebook profile.
Reached by phone on Friday, Myers insisted that he saw nothing wrong with labeling himself a white nationalist. I am Anglo and Im very proud of it, just like black people and brown people are proud of their race. I am a patriot. I am very proud of my country, Myers said. And white nationalist, all that means is America first. Thats exactly what that means. Thats where the presidents at. Thats where Im at and thats where every solid patriotic American is. It doesnt have anything to do with race or anything else.
Myers told the Observer that he agrees with Trumps claim that the media is the enemy of the people, and said the left is pushing a narrative to make white people ashamed of their heritage and to cast nationalists as racist right-wing Nazis, which he insisted is the furthest damn thing from the truth ever.

Heads Up, Meyers. The others are here and your world is crashing around your ears.
You and your ilk are outright cheating to stay in power and you know it.
