I asked @PressSec why Casey, head of an alt right group, was at the WH.
Her response: "He was one of more than twenty-five thousand people who came to the White House Fall Garden Tour, which is open to the public. Free tickets are made available to anyone who wants to attend."

Identity Evropa is a white supremacist group that popularized "you will not replace us" chant; Casey is its leader. We demand the White House answer why he was there. The White House should be #NoPlaceForHate. For more info, read: https://www.adl.org/resources/profiles/identity-evropa

(14,971 posts)Three sources familiar with how the Trump White House operates tell The Daily Beast that Casey could not have reached the location directly in front of the White Houses south front by himself or on a common tour. Casey, the sources said, likely would have had to be escorted by a Trump administration staffer wearing an official badge to get that kind of access.
Identity Evropa is a highly controversial group. Several of its members marched with other white supremacists in Charlottesville, and its previous leader was found guilty in a misdemeanor trial for his role. Since taking over Identity Evropa late last year, Casey has sought to distance the group from that fatal rally by adopting a public image focused on white identitarianism.
