MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SORRY NOT SORRIES SPEECH AT WHITE NATIONALIST CONFERENCE

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, over the weekend, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared as a guest speaker at a conference organized by a white nationalist, where attendees praised Vladimir Putin and Adolf Hitler and dubbed the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol “awesome.” Held as counterprogramming to the Conservative Political Action Conference—which, what with its attempts to not be completely overt about its racism and anti-Semitism is apparently way too mainstream for the fascist-inclined—the America First Political Action Conference was put on by far-right figure Nick Fuentes, whom the Anti-Defamation League has labeled a “prominent white supremacist pundit.

How big of a bigot is Fuentes? If you didn’t catch the ADL’s description of him just now and need more specifics, he reportedly has: asserted that “whites are under attack”; said that there is going to be a “genocide” on young white men; criticized interracial marriage; suggested that Black people were too sensitive about the unfairness of racist Jim Crow era laws (“Oh no, they had to go to different schools. Their water fountain in that famous picture was worse. Who cares? Grow up, drink out of the fucking water fountain.
