Paul Gosar Has History With Racist Influencer Nick Fuentes | Talking Points Memo

In a clip from his web show uploaded online Monday, the racist and anti-Semitic media personality Nicholas Fuentes said that if “Finnish fishermen” replaced Black Americans in Chicago’s south side, “it would probably look a lot more like America than it does now” and “they wouldn’t litter, and they wouldn’t be shooting each other, and they wouldn’t selling drugs.”

It’s hard to wrap my mind around the fact that some people are this vicious and cruel.

Addendum: This is one of those "fa"s that I’m “anti”. Two, actually.

There’s a trajectory from Reagan going to the Nazi cemetery at Bitburg to lay a wreath.
The Pat Buchanan presidential campaigns. Steve Scalese referring to himself as David Duke without the baggage. Matt Gaetz bringing a Holocaust denier to the state of the union. Madison Cawthorn taking a vacation to Hitlers summer digs.
Now it’s congressman Gosar for most of his career emboldening the same cranks. Plus being unaware or oblivious of the history of the term America First makes him unfit for office.
You simply can’t be surprised by this.

Can’t you just feel the creepiness oozing through this shot? The photographer really captured it.

And those coffee mugs – I can almost taste how lousy the brew is, just from looking at the picture.

(Added: Every time I taste that Good Old American Diner stuff-they-call-coffee, I remember Marianne Sägebrecht’s “Zis is Vater!” line from Baghdad Cafe.)

I had some Highland Grog this A.M. Quite good, but it didn’t leave a goofy look on my face. For that I go straight to dry herb vaping some fine Amnesia Haze.

Fuentes might be half right about the Finns. The successful ones would stay in the neighborhood instead of fleeing to the suburbs, they’d keep their kids in public schools, and they’d be happy to pay high taxes to get robust social services for the whole community, including free healthcare. That said, best bang for your buck would be to have the Finns replace Chicago’s whites instead.

I get your point, but, these two are hate-minded.

The Nazis had a lot more than 15 ovens,

Fuentes doesn’t seem to realize that his Klan doesn’t like Hispanics much either. Useful idiot.

"He’s even dabbled in Holocaust denial, saying during another webcast that ‘the math doesn’t seem to add up there,’ in response to a viewer who analogized about how long it would take for 15 ovens to produce ‘six million batches of cookies’.”

Several members of my extended family were “batches of cookies” in those ovens – including ten at Auschwitz alone.

There was a reason American troops killed Nazis.

That reason hasn’t changed.

I am sorry for your loss. I grew up with a survivor of one of the western camps. Maybe you remember: Back in, oh, '60, there wasn’t much in the way of Holocaust denial. The films ran continuously (or so it seemed) on television. And Ike saw the future enough, in the way he forced the newly-conquered civilians to confront what they did.

The other day on one of the new programs they showed Marsha, Marsha, Marsha saying something ignorant. And it hit me that she’s now Jan and MTG is Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.

From the depths, Trump came…and we all knew this would happen with the trajectory Trump was allowed to install.

I am sorry. Simple words but in them a world of sorrow for your loss, for those who should have been here and were denied that right. Shalom.

Has Fuentes been indicted for Jan 6 yet, or is he another “let’s you and him fight” provocateur?
