Is San Antonio's 'AK-Guy' seriously a finalist to be Trump's ATF director?
Right-wing social media is abuzz with speculation that a San Antonio-area YouTube influencer known as the "AK Guy" is a finalist to lead President Trump's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Brandon Herrera, a YouTube gun reviewer who last year ran a failed campaign to represent Texas’ 23rd District in Congress as a Republican, initially teased the idea in November of becoming the next ATF director. However, Trump hasn’t publicly commented on his possible appointment to the position.
