Reminder that throughout 2020, white supremacist Chester Doles' "American Patriots USA" organization received tacit support from the Sheriff of Lumpkin County, Stacy Jarrard @LumpkinCountySO.
In September, Doles' "American Patriots USA" held a "Back the Blue" fundraiser which they advertised as benefiting the Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office.
Despite calls from the community, Sheriff Stacy Jarrard refused to disavow the event.

THREAD: One month ago on December 12, members of the III% Security Force militia attacked unarmed anti-racist/anti-fascist counter-protesters after a rally in Atlanta.
Today we're exposing two more III%SF members in the bed of this truck, which left the garage before the attack.
Thread on Justin Daniel Gibson, exposed last month as a participant in the Dec. 12 militia gang attack.
Gibson can be seen in the bed of the truck earlier that day.
(THREAD) In the chat for the Stop the Steal - Georgia group on MeWe, Verden Andrew Nalley of LaFayette, GA has been boasting of his involvement in the Capitol Building intrusion in DC on Wednesday.
(The STS - Georgia group is not to be confused with STS Atlanta, also on MeWe.)
Nalley shared pictures from inside the US Capitol to the chat.
Nalley claims "we talk[ed] to cops inside [the Capitol]".
He also makes some highly deluded comments about what's going on right now.
Chris Georgia from our state was arrested in DC yesterday during the Trump power grab rally. Georgia faces unlawful entry and curfew violations charges.
Online, Christopher S Georgia lists his profession as a portfolio manager at BB&T. Is Georgia still working for you, @BBT?
An initial story from @wsbtv erroneously listed many names from GA. They then overcompensated with an opposite error - stating nobody from GA was arrested yesterday.
C. Georgia's 1/6 arrest was listed as taking place at the 100 block of First St NW in DC wsbtv.com/news/local/sev…
Chris Georgia's Facebook account appears to have vanished.
