Racist Trying To Resurrect Aryans

The Aryan Nations is experiencing an unwanted resurgence in North Idaho. Richard Butler and the Aryan Nations placed a black eye on North Idaho for years with their message of hate, until a lawsuit and Butler's death mostly wiped them out. However, a man named Paul Mullet claims he is going to bring the racist organization back. "I'm bringing the church back and it's going to stay," Mullet told KREM 2 News. "The Aryan Nations in North Idaho never left, it's just been quiet." Mullet says he moved here from Ohio five months ago because North Idaho is the "last stand" for the Aryan Nations movement. Mullet says he's in the process of buying a large amount of land in the area/KREM. More here.

Question: Do you think Mullet's attempt to resurrect the Aryan Nations in North Idaho is legitimate? Or simply a publicity stunt?
