Coincidence? Navy Seal Who Spoke for Parental Rights at School Board Gets Probed for ‘Extremist’ Ties
A Navy SEAL is under investigation for suspected association with unspecified extremist organizations after photos and videos surfaced of him speaking with members of the Proud Boys at parental rights protests, according to media reports and the visual documentation.
Chief Special Warfare Operator Bryce Henson, who also goes by the pseudonym Ben Richards, became a known figure in his community for participating in parental rights protests and advocating against LGBTQ+ indoctrination at school board and city council meetings, Military.com reported. A local photographer began compiling photos and videos of Henson standing with Proud Boys members and documenting allegations of verbal harassment.
He’s currently under investigation for “possibly participating with, or supporting, extremist causes,” Navy spokesman Cmdr. Ben Tisdale told Military.com.
“While sailors are always allowed to exercise their rights to freedom of speech and assembly if they follow the law and policy restriction, participation with hate or extremist groups of any kind is contradictory to the core values of the Navy and is not tolerated by [Navy Special Warfare],” Tisdale told the outlet.
Henson, operating under the Richards moniker, described himself as the founder of SoCal Parent Advocates, a parents group opposing Critical Race Theory, “radical gender ideology” and “vaccine and mask tyranny,” according to its website.
