Trey Garrison

I remember when "Trey Garrison" (or is it Norman Asa Garrison III?) used to write for the late, unlamented "Dallas Blog", a rightwing blog run by Tom Pauken, chairman of the Texas Republican Party from 1994 to 1997, among other party positions and appointed government position. Both Pauken and Garrison were provocative and usually wrong. Garrison also wrote very occasionally for "The Dallas Morning News" and "D Magazine." But I lost track of Garrison long before the time that "Dallas Blog" itself ceased to be active about 2016.

"The Dallas Morning News" catches us up on what Trey Garrison has been up to:
“Trey Garrison came to us as a libertarian writer expressing carefully couched opinions about everything from diversity to rural life to running marathons,” said Mike Wilson, editor of The News. “His last op-ed for us ran almost nine years ago. Hatewatch has done good work exposing his overtly racist and misogynistic views. We haven’t missed him and will never have him back.”

If you care to read more about Trey Garrison, feel free. I'll just leave Mike Wilson's quote speak for itself.
