On Thursday night, the president of the Heritage Foundation — the MAGA right’s leading think tank — welcomed an open Nazi into his political coalition. You might think I am exaggerating. I assure you I am not. The Nazi in question here, podcaster Nick Fuentes, has described Adolf Hitler as “really fucking cool” and said “perfidious Jews” must “be given the death penalty” after “we take power.” And on Thursday, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts released a video defending this person’s inclusion in polite-right politics: describing Fuentes not as a hate-monger to be banished from the decent right, but as a coalition member whose view of Jews-as-evil-traitors should be politely debated.

    The heritage foundations plan is being implemented more everyday I’d say that they are doing pretty good. I think they were always Nazis the mask is just off now. The divide in the party is over Isreal. Fuentes is an old school Nazi who hates Jews but Tucker is anti Zionism and Isreal funneling money into our politics. While I understand Tucker is wrong on so many issues he’s really not on the issue of Isreal. I don’t think the people in charge are going to mess with Jewish people that are zionists but the ones who are protesting the war are just going to be lumped in with “antifa”. They are Nazis but they are going to prioritize going after brown people and anyone who dissents
