Despite the #Dahlonega rally being organized by a notorious neo-Nazi with a history of violence, the national director of Bikers for Trump - Dale Herndon - has pledged his support.

Looks like the local #LumpkinCounty #GOP also give a nod and a wink to the Nazi-organized event.

Care to comment @ga9_gop @GaRepublicans?

Why are you supporting a neo-Nazi's rally?

On the site of "ShieldWall Network" neo-Nazi Billy Roper, Chester Doles -- organizing #Dahlonega GA rally -- asks for his old associates from the National Alliance to attend.

National Alliance was once the foremost neo-Nazi organization in US. Both Roper and Doles were members.

Chester Doles was in the National Alliance when that organization was led by William Pierce, as well as soon after Pierce's death.

William Pierce is the author (under pseudonym) of The Turner Diaries, the race-war fantasy which inspired the Oklahoma City bombing.

Chester Doles met frequently with William Pierce:

Doles also named a son, Pierce, after William Pierce:

The UK neo-Nazi who murdered a Labor politician in 2016 also had ties "going back decades" to the National Alliance.

@ga9_gop @GaRepublicans Longtime neo-Nazi Chester Doles has issued sanitized flyer for his Sept. 14th rally in #Dahlonega, #Georgia.

Doles now stresses that an "Army Veteran" is sponsoring event, yet Doles remains main organizer & promoter.

Rally promoted on white power sites.

@ga9_gop @GaRepublicans UPDATE:
Bikers for Trump have withdrawn support for 9/14 rally in #Dahlonega, GA. The "Salute to President Trump" rally is organized by longtime neo-Nazi Chester Doles, with assistance from other white supremacists.

Meanwhile, neo-Nazi & "fourth generation" Klansman Chester Doles is vowing to go ahead with his "Trump" rally.

So far no North Georgia GOP reps have disavowed the #NazisforTrump event, despite being informed.

Time for a statement

@ga9_gop @GaRepublicans The National Director of #BikersForTrump, Dale Herndon, has clarified that participating in the Nazi-organized rally would "set a bad optic" for his organization.

NEW ARTICLE: "Tell Georgia’s 9th District Republicans: Silence on Neo-Nazi 'Trump' Event in #Dahlonega is Complicity"

Silence from local Republicans — while neo-Nazis and white supremacists use “Trump” to recruit — is unacceptable.

You need to make a clear public statement about the Nazi-organized "Salute to President Trump" rally in Dahlonega, since your silence gives the impression of support for the event.

Meanwhile, Georgia neo-Nazi Michael Carothers (AKA Michael Weaver) is now also hyping the #Dahlonega rally on his "White Information Network" blog and other white supremacist sites such as Vanguard News Network.

Weaver was one of the main organizers of the "Rock Stone Mountain II" flop earlier this year.
