Republicans struggling with bigotry among younger conservatives: 'We don't think Hitler is, like, the worst person ever'

https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/republicans-young-conservatives-bigotry-b2946397.html


Some Republicans have raised alarm bells at the growing number of young conservatives who have been influenced by far-right online personalities that espouse negative opinions of Jewish people, women, people of color and more.

“We don’t think Hitler is, like, the worst person ever,” Alec Beaton, a 23-year-old former Trump campaign staffer, told the Washington Post at a national young conservatives conference. Beaton added that he praises Adolf Hitler to “mess with people.”

Fuentes, a 27-year-old white nationalist with a Rumble platform of more than 600k, said during a recent stream that women “just lie and they’re whores. Not all of them… but it is a serious problem.”

Gaines, a 36-year-old streamer, podcaster and author of a book titled Why Women Deserve Less, wrote on X in October, “Yeah we like Hitler. No one gives a f*** what you woke jews think anymore.”
