Step Right This Way
For Neo-Nazis, Holocaust Deniers , Groypers and Baked Alaska
Trump applauds Putin for invading Ukraine so don’t tell me you’re surprised at anything Gen. bone spurs says and that includes honoring a white supremacist, neo-Nazi, Holocaust denier who believes that women should not be allowed to vote.
The good and great Nazi in waiting from the Georgia Peach
State, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., also is a fan of this white supremacist, neo-Nazi, Holocaust denier who believes women should not be allowed to vote. That would be a notorious cretan named Nick Fuentes, leader of a far right group calling itself “America First” because “Make America Great Again” was already taken. Fuentes’s star shined back in 2017, when he was at the racist, far-right rally in Charlottesville, Va., and was among “some very fine people on both sides,” trump said at the time.
The America First group met over the weekend, where else, but in Florida and Fuentes told his cheering audience of mostly, you white men, that he and his followers “are going to rule this country because “the United States government has become the evil empire in the world.”
Not to be confused with anyone of sound mind, Fuentes alerted “every RINO, every lying journalist, every carjacker, gangbanger, illegal immigrant, every OnlyFans whore, every mobbed-up politician and pundit on the payroll of some Middle Eastern country, to the people that have looted our wealth, addicted our youth to drugs, thrown open our borders to invaders from all over the world, to the corrupt that have sold out our country and our people: we are coming for you. … You think you can replace us? You’re wrong. We will replace you.”
Fuentes went on to praise what he called, the cultural homogeneity of Russia and China which he said are powerful despite broad racial and cultural homogeneity.
“Can we get a round of applause for Russia?” Fuentes said and the crowd responded to his call with chants of “Putin! Putin!” .
Seems lockstep with trump who joined a litany of other far right wingnuts and spoke ad nauseam at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday. As he has before, trump described Putin as “smart” while he denigrated immigrants coming to the U.S.
“Our country is being poisoned from within,” said the ex-president who is under investigation for a series of federal crimes.
Turn over a rock and who else would you have found at Fuentes’ conference? Why, that would be Greene, who was a surprised guest. Greene was among a group of far right members of Congress who last year suggested formation of a new political action committee and calling it “America First.” Includes in its raison d’etre is to defend the nation’s “uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions.”
Speaking at CPAC, Trump praised Greene and Fuentes responded with great appreciation.
“After a day of vicious attacks against Marjorie Taylor Greene for speaking at AFPAC last night, Donald Trump gives her a shoutout and endorsement from the main stage at CPAC,” Fuentes wrote.
How about Tucker Carlson, the Fox racist, who defended Putin’s invasion and contended that Americans should be angry at Democrats and not Putin.
“Has Putin shipped every middle class job in your town to Russia?” Carlson said. “Is he teaching your kids to embrace racial discrimination?”
Meanwhile another speaker at the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) was Republican Arizona State Sen. Wendy Rogers, who said what the country needs is more gallows to “make an example of these traitors who have betrayed our country.”
Rogers called Fuentes “the most persecuted man in America” who is “standing up to tyranny” by creating AFPAC.
Rogers also had good words for the “Groypers” or “Groyper Army,” a loosely defined, group of white nationalist and far-right activists, provocateurs, and internet trolls who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection by trump supporters. Groypers have been described as white nationalist, homophobic, nativist, fascist, sexist and anti-Semitic. Groyper started off as a meme, imitation of Pepe the Frog, the cartoon that became a mascot for alt-right.
Groypers plan a three-day conference this month in Phoenix, Ariz. similar to last year’s program which was described as “Hitler Youth, without the Hitler.”
Other white supremacists at the AFPAC rally included Jared Taylor and Peter Brimelow. Taylor hosts an annual conference that the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as a place “where racist intellectuals rub shoulders with Klansmen, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists.” Brimelow publishes a popular white nationalist website and has said “the U.S. is a white nation.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center said that Taylor’s no-defunct magazine, American Renaissance, was a proponent of eugenics and blatant anti-black and anti-Latino racism.
“Blacks and whites are different. When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization — any kind of civilization — disappears,” Taylor wrote in American Renaissance, 2005.
Brimelow is the president of the VDARE Foundation, a nonprofit that warns against the polluting of America by non-whites, Catholics, and Spanish-speaking immigrants. During trump’s 2016 campaign, in response to trump’s comments about Mexican immigrants, Brimelow noted that “Hispanics do specialize in rape, particularly of children. They’re very prone to it, compared to other groups.”
Another speaker was the racist, Holocaust denier, Vincent James Foxx, who said that LGBTQ Americans are criminals. Foxx’s website, “Daily Veracity,” has carried pieces with headlines such as “Black Americans Most Likely to Commit Hate Crimes, Join Hate Groups, and Commit Interracial Attacks. Here are the Numbers”; “Yes, You Are Being Replaced”; and “White People Were the First to End Slavery, and Nowhere Near the Biggest Slavers.”
During her 2019 campaign for Idaho’s Lt. Gov., GOP candidate and ultimate winner, Janice McGeachin, posed for a picture with Foxx at a campaign event. Afterward, Foxx called for support for McGeachin’s campaign for governor and said he has “deep connections” to her.
Local groyper, neo-Nazi provacateur Anthime Joseph “Tim” Gionet, who goes by the moniker “Baked Alaska.” Gionet has posted video of himself marching with white supremacists at Charlottesville and hanging out with neo-Nazi blogger Andrew Anglin. He also live streamed on YouTube for 27 minutes as he committed the alleged crimes inside the U.S. Capitol. He was later charged with violent entry and federal trespassing for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attempted insurrection.
And for those who stayed up later at night, they heard a 40-minute rambling diatribe from former, dishonored Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio who was staunchly against immigration and was accused of numerous kinds of police misconduct. The U.S. Department of Justice determined that Arpaio oversaw the worst pattern of racial profiling in U.S. history. He was convicted of criminal contempt and but was pardoned in 2017 by trump who called Arpai an “American patriot.”
Another Fuentes supporter is the right wing conspiracist, Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz. He attended the AFPAC get together last year and is a strong trumper.
Back to CPAC, another speaker was DC Draino, a nom de guerre for Rogan O’Handley, an ambassador for the Turning Point USA group and a conservative political blogger with more than 3 million followers.
“Trump is the best vehicle we have for ushering in the defense of the Constitution,” Draino said.
Turning Point USA was founded in 2012 by Charles J. Kir, a conservative talk show host. Kirk also is the leader of Turning Point Action, Students for Trump, and Turning Point Faith, president of Turning Point Endowment, and a member of the Council for National Policy. Kirk led the “Stop the Steal” protests after trump lost the 2020 presidential election, because of unproven, non-existent widespread voter fraud. He also tweeted on Jan. 5, 2021, that the next day, his groups would send busloads of “patriots to D.C. to fight for this president.”
The Turning Point USA website offers a reference list of professors and school boards to monitor for their alleged left wing leanings and of course there is the ubiquitous merch, such as the “Cinnamon Roll Culture Crewneck” in periwinkle blue for just $45. Turning Point notes that Cinnamon Roll Culture is a “term of endearment. It means a precious person we love and must protect at all costs.”
