A San Diego-based Marine Corps reservist is under investigation by the Marines after membership interviews with a white supremacist hate group were leaked by activists and highlighted in a subsequent Southern Poverty Law Center report on the high percentage of applicants who claimed military ties.
In its report, the SPLC found that 1 in 5 applicants to Patriot Front claimed to be either on active duty or veterans of the military. It highlighted one applicant who said he was a San Diego-based Marine veteran.
Local activists noted that Cpl. Victor Krvaric, 21, has the same biographical details — such as age, job titles and family background — as the anonymous applicant cited in the SPLC report. Krvaric is a son of Tony Krvaric, former chairman of the San Diego County Republican Party.
San Diego activists affiliated with “The Activated Podcast” were the first to point to Krvaric as possibly being the unnamed person in the SPLC report. In a detailed Twitter thread Wednesday, the podcast pointed to the similarities between Krvaric and the applicant, who is named in the leaked chats as “Interviewee 441515.”
