White Nationalist Faces Recall Vote in Oklahoma City Council

Judd Blevins' election to Enid's City Council has ignited a community-wide effort to address extremism, with a recall vote looming.

  • A white nationalist, Judd Blevins, was elected to the City Council of Enid, Oklahoma, sparking controversy and a recall vote set for April 2.
  • Blevins' ties to white nationalism, including his involvement with Identity Evropa and participation in the Charlottesville rally, were exposed by local activists and media.
  • The Enid Social Justice Committee was formed in response to Blevins' election, aiming to recall him and combat extremism in local politics.
  • Despite attempts to censure Blevins for his extremist ties, the City Council voted to table the matter until after the recall election, following a surprising act of forgiveness from the council's only Black member.
  • The recall effort against Blevins has garnered attention and support from national white supremacist groups, while the local community remains divided.
