Chad Williams of the Huntington Beach City Council is a Ho.

Jay-Z can explain it best. But what I'd love to know: Why do 88 percent of the councilman's political donations have no direct stake in his actions?

Chad Williams is a new hard-right member of the Huntington Beach city council.

He is also a former Navy Seal.

And a ho.

By “ho,” I don’t mean in the anti-woman way. I mean, to quote Jay-Z: “Now once upon a time not too long ago/A n—-a like myself had to strong-arm a ho/This is not a ho in the sense of having a pussy/But a pussy having no goddamn sense try and push me.”

So, again, Chad Williams is a ho. He’s a ho to the hard-right MAGA crowd who cheer and clap in his presence. He’s a ho to his fellow city council members, all of whom expect him to follow along and do their immoral bidding. He’s a ho to Donald Trump—a president who demands absolute loyalty from his foot soldiers, sans thought or contemplation or compassion.

He is also, I believe, a ho to those who financially backed his 2024 council campaign.

The vast majority of whom do not live in Huntington Beach.

Before I dig into this point, however, it’s important to know who Chad Williams is. Biographically, the dude is all you’d want in an American and a public servant. He’s a combat veteran who led more than 120 Iraqi Special Operations Commandos. He graduated from Huntington Beach High and returned home to the city that raised him. He’s a husband (to his high school sweetheart, no less) and father of two young children. He’s a member of a mega-church. His Instagram ID (@sealofgod) is hella creepy and self-indulgent, but, hey, nobody’s perfect. And maybe, by “seal of God,” he’s referring to Flipper. One never knows.

Whatever the case, the guy’s military history demands our respect. I truly mean that—Chad Williams fought for America when so many of us did not. It’s no small thing.

And yet, that’s why it hurts me to note that the guy is wrong-in-the-head bonkers.

He’s a ho.

Chad Williams is a Navy Seal who looooooves Donald Trump. It’s not mere like for Chad. It’s red-hat obsession. What’s alarming about that is, once again, Chad Williams was a friggin’ Navy Seal. That’s some bad-ass shit. And Donald Trump—as many here know—received five draft deferments from a family friend “doctor” for imaginary bone spurs. He called military enlistees “suckers and losers,” lied about being a Sept. 11 hero, lied about nearly dying in a helicopter crash, dismissed POWs for being captured (Direct quote: “My heroes weren’t captured.”) and cancelled a World War I memorial at a cemetery in France because … he didn’t want to get wet.

Despite all that, Chad is unwavering. Trump (like Jesus) is his lord and savior, and no dogging of the president can ever be correct or reasoned or on point. The critics are dumb. They are wrong. They don’t understand. They can’t understand. Trump is a messenger. Trump is truth. Trump is God-delivered. Chad may have long ago taken an oath to the Constitution. But the document has been crumpled up and replaced by obedience toward a single man.

It’s odd, actually. While working on this post, I scanned through Chad’s Facebook page, and found this gem …

Alas, I doubt 2025 Chad reads the words of 2020 Chad and sees the hypocrisy of it all. I doubt Chad is upset over his King kneeling before Putin and Russia. I doubt Chad is upset over his King restricting freedom of the press. I doubt Chad is upset over his King pardoning all the Jan. 6 rioters—including those who attacked police officers. I doubt Chad is upset over the election denying—not merely in 2020, but also this denial, this denial, this denial. Habitual denying. E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g is rigged—unless it goes for Trump. In that case, it’s not rigged.

Right, Chad? Right?

But wait.

The money.

While it’s not unusual for political figures to ho on behalf of those who fill their coffers, there’s something about Williams—a former Navy Seal; a dude who has taken multiple oaths to stand up and defend democracy—that I find both perplexing and chilling.

See, we here at The Truth OC have a friend. And that friend, who will remain nameless, was able to pull Williams’ Form 460s—the contribution reports candidates have to file when running for office. And for the report that spanned between Sept. 22, 2024 and Oct. 19, 2024 (ending roughly three weeks before his triumphant election day), Williams received a total of 204 campaign contributions, totaling $110,000.

And while those figures, in a bubble, aren’t eye-raising, here’s something that is: Of the 204 donations, only 24 came from residents of Huntington Beach. Or, in simpler terms, only 12 percent of the donors who wanted Chad Williams to land on the Huntington Beach City Council would actually be impacted by (cough, cough) the Huntington Beach City Council.

This.

Is.

Peculiar.

To be clear, I am not accusing Chad Williams of breaking laws. Buuuuuuut … he certainly owes people something of an explanation to this question: Why do 88 percent of your campaign donors have absolutely no stake in a single decision you make? Why are folks in Kentucky, Oregon, Texas, Iowa funding you? Who are these people? Why are they backing you? What are they seeking? What do they want in return? And does he actually listen to his constituents, or to his donors?

To say it’s unusual is no exaggeration. On average, a person running for city council can expect, oh, 80 percent of donors to be local. Which makes sense, because city council members have literally nothing to do with anything but their city council.

So, again, I ask—why is Chad receiving 88 percent of his dough from outsiders?

Who are these people?

What do they want?

And what was promised—if anything—in return?

In short: Who does Chad Williams actually represent?
