Many Republicans dismiss such party members even as white supremacists like Nick Fuentes gain popularity, but there’s growing unease at their presence in the rank and file.
At a conference on antisemitism this month in Washington, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) warned that he has seen more prejudice against Jewish people “in the last 18 months on the right than at any point in my lifetime,” and that “it is gaining real purchase, especially with young people.”
The fight against antisemitism is winning with “folks in this room with some gray or salt-and-pepper in their hair,” Cruz said.
“But in the college classroom,” he added, “I’m a lot less certain.”
Dismissing Nick Fuentes is dangerous. After all, Hitler, y"sh, was dismissed as a mere rabble rouser right until he won the premiership and even then the industrialists who funded the Nazis thought they still controlled him.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between the Republicans and Democrats is stark. The Republican leadership is worried about the future of their party becoming radical and hateful. The Democrats are endorsing it.
