GOP Lawmaker to Host Fundraiser with White Supremacist

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) is hosting a fundraiser with America First PAC, a group run by young far-right operative Nick Fuentes, who has promoted white-nationalist ideas and whom the Justice Department has labeled a “white supremacist.”

Aaron Blake: “Fuentes has defended segregation and bemoaned the United States losing its ‘White demographic core.’ He has cast doubt on the millions of deaths in the Holocaust and engaged in a lengthy metaphor likening the deaths to cookies baking in an oven. He labeled the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol ‘awesome’ and the racist rally in Charlottesville that resulted in the death of a counterprotester ‘incredible.'”
