Who is TexasVet?
He , moderates www.altright.com 's official discord, owns the 14words discord server and is a member of Identity Europa.
TexasVet's real name is Sean Sweat, a self-professed army veteran from Texas. Very active on social media, Sean/TexasVet has leveraged his position to launch a successful GoFundMe asking for money to buy food and gas because, in his words, he has "skin cancer and failing kidneys" and can't find work or drive to the VA.
However, at the same time, Sean/TexasVet was bragging about his new purchase of rifle accessories, something that a person literally having to beg for food and gas money clearly couldn't afford.This "sick, unemployed veteran" has been scamming people out of money with a pity story, using their charity to buy luxury items.
But is Sean/TexasVet even unemployed? in this video, he claims to have to cover up his face because being outed could cost him his job. Said video was also linked to from his public twitter profile, which is under his real name and features a selfie as a profile picture, so it's not clear what's going on except that this guy is lying through his teeth. He has tried to build an image as a prominent right-wing speaker, only to leverage it for a cheap charity scam.

Last I heard he got a job at some gun range recently. So at least he works now. What he did before that is hard to say. But there's no hiding the fact that begging for money because "you're poor" and then going out and buying stuff that are the last things a "starving poor man" needs is beyond disgraceful.

Seeing as he's made a public gofundme fundraiser page with his name and face this information can be seen as being in the public domain and thus not in violation of Voat ToS.
We want you all to note that we will not allow the sharing of any personal information on our sub unless it is in the public domain. Twitter is an example of public domain as are all tweets. A persons facebook or other page closed for public access is not in the public domain and sharing any such information will be removed and may result in a ban.
It shall also be made clear that we do not condone general witch-hunts but there is a prevalent problem within many of these political movements; that are people trying to take advantage of others for no other reason than personal monetary gain. Such behaviour is thievery and it is our duty to bring such information forward.
