RAW STORY
The Southern Poverty Law Center on Wednesday accused South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley of appointing a white supremacist to her steering committee.
In February, the Republican governor announced she had formed the
committee to explore her re-election options. Roan Garcia-Quintana of
Greenville was listed as one of the 164 co-chairs.
The Anti-Defamation League has described Garcia-Quintana as a “white supremacist” and “a well-known leader” in the Council of Conservative Citizens.
The
group openly opposes the immigration of “non-European and non-Western
peoples into the United States” and condemns “all efforts to mix the
races of mankind.” The Council of Conservative Citizens also believes
the United States should not tolerate “sexual licentiousness,
homosexuality and other perversions, mixture of the races, pornography
in all forms, and subversion of the authority of parents.”
The NAACP described
the Council of Conservative Citizens as “the largest white nationalist
group in the country and direct descendant of the white Citizens
Councils that fought to defend Jim Crow segregation during the 1950s and
1960s.”
Though Garcia-Quintana is himself a Cuban immigrant, he has claimed to be purely of European descent.
