When Dan Cox moved through the crowd of well-wishers at his primary election watch party in Emmitsburg, Md. in July, a young man dressed in a Fred Perry polo shirt with the Proud Boys logo was on hand to congratulate him on his victory as the Republican nominee for governor.

“Here, this is a present from Maryland Proud Boys to you,” the young man told Cox, while presenting him with a small, black comb and shaking his hand, according to a report in the Washington Post. The Telegram channel for the Maryland Proud Boys has promoted accelerationist and white nationalist content.

Raw Story has confirmed the identity of the Proud Boy at Cox’s election watch party as Henry Vladimir Lehman, a Maryland man with an extensive history of involvement in far-right extremism. Lehman’s extremist activity dates back to June 2017, when he attended an alt-right rally headlined by white supremacist Richard Spencer and extended through his involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol.
