TexasVet, AKA Sean Sweat, is scamming right-wing communities out of money claiming he's an sick & unemployed veteran, while using said money to buy scopes and ammo (farright)

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.

To be fair, the VA only fully covers service connected disabilities.

I don't look down on veterans who didn't have a war. Soldiers don't get to pick the wars they fight in. During the Vietnam War, there were probably a million men cycled through Germany for the pending war with the USSR that never happened. Even Johnny Cash served in Germany.

Edit: to add, cyber begging for cash, and then buying rifle accessories is pretty bullshit. He should at least make an effort to pay back those who helped him.

Edit: has @TexasVet commented on this?
