White supremacists call Rep. Stringer ‘our guy’ in leaked chat logs

Chat logs from the white supremacist group Identity Ervopa released by the nonprofit news organization Unicorn Riot show support for racist comments made by Rep. David Stringer, R-Prescott, last year.

“This is one of my representatives,” user PatrickAz said in the released logs. “Want to talk with this guy. He seems /ourguy/.”

The comment linked to an article that disputed characterizations of Stringers’ comments to a group of ASU students as racist. Stringer is the publisher and co-owner of the local news site in question.

The article was referring to audio obtained by the Phoenix New Times in which Stringer was heard saying that African Americans “don’t blend in.”

“WATCH THIS VIDEO OF REP DAVID STRINGER!!!” one post says with a link to a tweet by former city councilman David Schapira to another set of racist comments made by Stringer.

In the clip, Stringer says public schools are suffering because there “aren’t enough white kids” to go around, and that immigration “represents an existential threat to the United States.”

One user posted links to several articles about Stringers various comments saying “Does Stringer seem good to you guys?”

The following conversation turned towards the users talking about their distaste for women who are not white.

Stringer is currently facing an ethics investigation in the Arizona House of Representatives for his comments on race and immigration, and for apparently pleading guilty to a sex crime involving juveniles in Baltimore in the early 1980s.
