Austrian Nazis partied in Trump Tower on the night of election 2016
https://www.thedailybeast.com/austrian-extremists-partied-at-trump-tower-on-election-night
Trump Tower was teeming with activity on Nov. 8 last year as the nation was preparing to vote the towers namesake into the Oval Office.
In one particular apartment, near the penthouse where the new president-elect resided, a cohort of friends gathered in anticipation of the victory. Among the 60-70 people in attendance were members of Austrias Freedom Party, a right-wing political outfit whose first leader was a former SS officer.

As Lombardi explained it, he told Trump that the party would include my friends and some people that live in the building.
I didnt have to give him the list of the people who we invited, Lombardi told The Daily Beast. He knows who I am. Im having a party in my apartment, I invited Donald because were next door neighbors.
He knows who my friends are, Lombardi claimed.

The head of Austrias Freedom Party (FPÖ), Heinz-Christian Strache, has officially announced his attendance at Donald Trumps upcoming inauguration, which takes place this Friday. Strache disclosed his plans on his Facebook page on Tuesday morning.
The invitation allegedly came from the US-Congressman from Iowa, Steve King, who is known for his ultraconservative views and strong support for Trump.
TFG has been a Nazi supporter for some time. Where was the outrage then? Fuentes and Ye are a continuation, and yes, they were caught in actual compnay of TFG. I am glad there is outrage now. But the "problem" has always been there. And not just with the orange anus.

I think it was a Hungarian Nazi group but I could be wrong.

A group with alleged historical links to Nazi Germany has told NBC News it was "proud" when President Donald Trump's deputy assistant wore its medal.
Controversy has swirled around Sebastian Gorka, one of Trump's top counterterrorism advisers, ever since he attended the president's Jan. 20 Inaugural Ball wearing the honorary medal of Hungarian nationalist organization Vitezi Rend.

Gorka is such a joke but when I saw that I knew things were going to get worse than anyone anticipated. He and Stephen Miller alone tell you everything you need to know about the whole Clustertrump operation.
