re: #176 Nyet

No, neither of the two things I asked for are demonstrated by this.

Matt Schlapp is shown to have neo-Nazi leanings

was one of the things you asked.

Matt Schlapp was at that event. It was advertised well in advance, including who would be represented there. From the article:

Extremist groups and media shops also publicly organized their members to attend: the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia; the Proud Boys, a violent hate group; ACT for America, an Islamophobic organization; the Three Percenters, another far-right militia; Patriot Prayer, a far-right, pro-violence and pro-Christian group; and VDARE, a Nazi-sympathizing site. All of these groups promoted the Million MAGA March on their websites and/or social media. New social media accounts were also created solely for the purpose of advertising the event, and the attendance of white nationalists who hold some ‘celebrity’ status on the far-right. The Instagram account @millionmagamarch, which made its first post on November 8th, shared a flyer three days later advertising “prominent Million MAGA March attendees.”

The flyer boasted the attendance of Fuentes and Jones, as well as the white supremacist collaborator Jack Posobiec, Posobiec’s fellow pizzagate conspiracy theorist and rape apologist Mike Cernovich, white nationalist Michelle Malkin, white nationalist collaborator Scott Presler, and several others. The first account @millionmagamarch followed on Instagram was that of neo-Nazi and antisemitic conspiracy theorist Tim Gionet, known as ‘Baked Alaska.’

That is sufficient evidence for me. If you have a table of four Nazis what do you call the fifth person there if he doesn’t leave? A Nazi.

Schlapp knew these people were going to be there, as did the other Republican politicians listed in the article. Unless you’re specifically looking for Schlapp in an SS uniform or throwing a Hitler salute like a common Laura Ingraham, or a “mother figure” to the Groypers as Michelle Malkin refers to herself (and she was there too), I don’t know what else to say.

Schlapp invited Marine le Pen to CPAC 2018, calling her “a classical liberal.”

That is satisfactory for me.
