Five GOP Reps To Meet With Far-Right Czech Official Today. Why?

Why??????

I've been wracking my brain, and the only logical reason I can think of for this meeting is for complicit Republicans to cement their unholy alliance with Putin's attacks on Western democracies. Why? And why now? Britské listy, a reader-financed Czech newsite, reports:

Five US Congressmen representing the Republican Party have requested a meeting in Prague with Tomio Okamura, the leader of an extreme right wing party, the Movement of Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD). The following five US Congressmen, Steve King (R-IA), Andy Harris (R-MD), Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) will meet Tomio Okamura in Prague on Thursday 25th January at 4.30 pm. According to Okamura's press release, "they will discuss topics of bi-lateral and global importance, including European policy which concerns demographic changes, migration and immigration".

Tomio Okamura is the leader of the most extreme political party which is currently represented in the Czech Parliament. His SPD party won 22 seats in the 200-seat Czech parliament in the Czech general election which took place in October 2017.

Andrew Stroehlein, the European Media Director of Human Rights Watch, says:

"These US Congressmen have chosen to meet with Tomio Okamura, leader of the Movement of Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD), who is well known for calling for the banning of Islam and 'external manifestations of Islam.' The SPD's parliamentary party secretary has called for the gassing of Jews, gays and Roma."

After his election last October, Okamura, a businessman and reality show star (sound familiar?) who ran as a Czech populist, said, “We want to stop any Islamisation of the Czech Republic, we push for zero tolerance of migration.”

This is part of Russia's grand plan to destabilize Western democracies so that Russia is more powerful.
