A Texas Marine veteran is using his military expertise to train and empower a burgeoning group of white extremists, an exclusive report by The Daily Beast has revealed. Leaked messages obtained by reporter James LaPorta outed veteran Erick Sailors, a former U.S. Marine, as the head of the Texas chapter of white supremacist group Patriot Front. The organization was formed after the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va. last summer, during which a counter-protester was killed.
