West Virginia White Pride

Description

West Virginia White Pride squats in a diner outpost beyond Blacksberg, satellite signals mocking President Bartlet's nightly battle against unleashing the Attorney General. Investigators hammer ties between its ranks and the shooters plus signal man who ambushed Josh Lyman, folding the assault into supremacist fury alongside Klan and Brotherhood of Aryan Nations links. Toby Ziegler thrusts 'card-carrying members' into the spotlight for the G.W. Hospital attack—bolstered by Carl Leroy's confession—arming FBI sweeps, civil suits, and lockdown frenzy as ethical fault lines crack under post-shooting rage.
