Republicans in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania have elected Steve Smith, a
lifelong white supremacist with close ties to
neo-Nazi groups and groups like
Aryan Nations, to the county’s
GOP Committee.

In March 2003, he and two other KSS members were arrested in Scranton for beating up Antoni Williams, a black man, using stones and chunks of pavement. Smith pleaded guilty to
terrorist threats and ethnic intimidation and received a 60-day sentence and probation.
Smith is also an active member of local
Tea Party groups, a network that he used to gain support for his bid for the committee seat. According to the SPLC, Smith referred to the
Tea Party as “
fertile grounds for our activists.”
