Content warning: contains justification of capitol attack, and encouragement for repeated attacks against those who oppose the attacks and/or the the employment of James Hoak as Sierra Unifed School District board of Trustees member *(18 minutes and on) "[Samantha]: you guys are all subject to what's going on. And if you don't think that they're coming for you-they're coming for you.") 

#JamesHoak was elected to the school board of trustees for Sierra unified in CA recently and attended / was approving of the attack on the Capitol during the January attack. Not surprising to Latinx people in Fresno, CA--quite a bit aways from the Sierra Foothills, yet Fresnans are oddly the people closest to Hoak's radical politically ideologies--a frequent agitator and disrupter of cultural events and non-cultural political events in Fresno, CA, he was seen to be advocating for and explaining the actions of a mob of MAGA attackers beating police with sticks/metal pipes/etc during his zoomed in 'reporting' of events on his now deleted video *video here:

JamesHoak, #capitol attendee and trustee of the #sierraunifiedschooldistrict is no stranger to immigrant rights activists in Fresno. Traveling from his home city, where he is now a #SierraUnified school district trustee, he was a frequent MAGA livestreamer known to antagonize, disrupt, and livestream the faces and personal identities of local immigrant rights activists in Fresno. 

Going as far back as 2018, as seen in this video, James Hoak would use inflammatory language against #immigrants and was one of a group of #proudboys from the #centralvalley who were listed during this news story on a pro-migrant caravan rally (crashed by proud boys, including James Hoak) as a "self-proclaimed" Nationalist (a common dog whistle for white supremacists who believe in an ethno-state of Whites only). 

Hoak can be seen being interviewed in this local news story from 2018 around the 30 second mark, his name clearly visible, and the reporter quotes them at the end saying they are nationalists.

Mayday cultural event personal livestream where Mr. Hoak is seen mid-video up close to be livestreaming immigrant people's face before organized activist Latinx members approach and block his view of immigrant bystanders. Host takes the video, host is not affiliated with the event--this was supposed to be a cultural dance and music event celebrating workers for mayday. This event was not political, it was a cultural dance/music event that quickly soured after MAGA hats appeared and began to film an elderly lady in a veil sitting alone on a cement bench that is seen at the start. Towards the end, Host sent a proxy to film up close to the MAGA hats, and James Hoak is clearly the one in the blue shirt. Please skip towards the end to see the blue shirt up close for identification purposes. Thank you. host.
