Proud Boy Jason Lee Van Dyke, a lawyer from Denton, TX, on his show “F#@K Your Feelings.” On this particular episode, he invited several Proud Boys to channel their inner Amos & Andy while they read from an old racist children’s book.

Better Call J.L.

Facing allegations of racism, the Proud Boys look to a lawyer with experience.

For the entirety of their brief and ignoble history, the Proud Boys have been dogged by accusations that they are a white supremacist hate group.

To handle the problem, this gang of self-styled “Western chauvinists” turns to fellow Proud Boy Jason Lee Van Dyke, a lawyer from Denton, Texas, who brings a special set of skills to the table

Van Dyke worked for most of his career in debt collection, a field notorious for harassment and deception, though he made a brief foray into suits against the makers of “revenge porn.”

In the past year or so, the skills he honed working as a cheap bagman have come in handy in Van Dyke’s effort to manage the fallout from his own racist views.

He became something of a martyr among Proud Boys when Twitter suspended his account last year for a series of violent and/or racist tweets he sent during an online meltdown :

Over the course of this dumb fiasco, Van Dyke butted heads with New York rapper Talib Kweli, who frequently beefs with random racist trolls. Van Dyke got him temporarily suspended and threatened to “skin” him.

The episode attracted a deluge of complaints to the state bar, yet Van Dyke miraculously maintains a flawless disciplinary record. In an email, he brags that he accomplished this feat by suing everyone who ever filed a complaint against him.

He is just as litigious in his work with the Proud Boys, filing SLAPP lawsuits on behalf of the group’s leader, self-proclaimed “free speech advocate” Gavin McInnes.

Even the slightest grievance is enough for Van Dyke to fire off a boilerplate four-page letter on the stationery of his now defunct firm. Here’s an excerpt from one he filed against CV Vitolo-Haddad, an obscure trans blogger on Medium, who like me also has fewer than 200 followers.
