On May 24, IREHR published an article detailing the white nationalist, Tea Party and anti-immigrant activities of Roan Garcia-Quintana, who South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley had named as a co-chair of her re-election campaign. Four days later, Gov. Haley asked for and received Garcia-Quintana’s resignation from that post. While it is difficult to know what exact sequence of events led to the rejection of this white nationalist-Tea Partier, we do know that IREHR was the first to publish a catalogue of his misdeeds. Washington Post reporter Mary Curtis did cite IREHR’s 2010 report Tea Party Nationalism, which contained the relevant information on Garcia-Quintana, although she did not mention it by name but by inference as a “NAACP-backed report.”
