Since we're all talking about the Proud Boys now, will people care more about Sheriff Villanueva having had a Proud Boys fan speak at his anti-BLM press conference in early September? In this Buzzfeed photo she poses w/ Enrique Tarrio (id'd as a leader in the LAT photo below).
Elsa Aldeguer also boasted to Buzzfeed that day that she'd just organized "the biggest anti-Muslim rally ever": buzzfeednews.com/article/jamesp…
Villanueva invited her to speak at a press conference aimed at slamming BLM and those protesting the shooting of #DijonKizzee. She blamed BLM for breaking Jesus at a rally to open churches back up. She also has a thing for racist memes:
She attended a Proud Boys rally and loves flashing the white power symbol
She actually wrapped herself in a flag for this press conference and introduced herself as having been invited to speak about BLM. Quite a choice for Villanueva to have made.
Also... "racial guilt" with no qualifiers here or in the story suggests maybe not everyone at @latimes has heard there is supposed to be a racial reckoning going on there right now.
