Team Trump’s axis with Hitler’s American friends: The ex-president’s family and allies are teaming up with Nazis and antisemites
"Trump Doral speaker Scott McKay, who has a streaming show on Rumble, has claimed that Jewish people orchestrated 9/11 and were responsible for the assassinations of Presidents Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and William McKinley. He has also said that Jewish people routinely torture children and eat their hearts.

It’s hard to imagine now, but Adolf Hitler — the world’s most reviled dictator, responsible for the genocide of six million Jews — had plenty of American friends.
In fact, a 2018 award-winning book by Bradley W. Hart, appropriately called “Hitler’s American Friends .. https://www.amazon.com/Hitlers-American-Friends-Reichs-Supporters/dp/1250148952 ,” details the eclectic and disparate groups of Americans who were intrigued by Hitler’s ideas, and more than happy to help seed them here.
From German-Americans who joined the Bund, to William Dudley Pelley’s Silver Shirts, right-wing radio host Father Charles Coughlin, and the famous flight pioneer Charles Lindbergh, all helped spread Nazi propaganda leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

[Insert: Fear and Loathing of the Green New Deal
"Noam Chomsky Believes Trump Is “the Worst Criminal in Human History”"
[...]-
The response to the Green New Deal provides us with a catalogue of
conservative arguments in all their schizophrenic glory.
-
In 1991, the economist A.O. Hirschman published a short book, The Rhetoric of Reaction, in which he argued that conservative arguments from the eighteenth to the twentieth century all followed the same basic logical structure and deployed the same rhetorical formulations. It’s hard not to recall Hirschman’s argument as we see conservative opinion already amassing to place the Green New Deal outside the bounds of respectable discourse. Back in the 1930s, the foes of the New Deal repeated their central arguments over and over again, no matter the specifics of the particular legislation then up for consideration. Critics warned that the New Deal would cause permanent damage to the foundations of the American economy. They feared that its measures were hasty and irrational. And once their complaints built to a crescendo, they argued that the flurry of legislation introduced by Roosevelt and the other New Deal Democrats intended to do little more than perform the necessary rescue mission to save capitalism from itself could only result in the creation of a totalitarian state. Squint your eyes a bit at the brewing pundits’ assault from the right on the Green New Deal, and you can see nearly all the same basic structural arguments in play. A.O. Hirschman is long gone, but the rhetoric of reaction sails serenely on, deployed against the nightmare of climate change with the same breezy, repetitive insistence its adherents once rolled out to argue against a coordinated response to the Great Depression.
[...]The proposal for a federal minimum wage (which passed in 1938) aroused still greater alarm among business conservatives.
[...]Such activists as Rev. Gerald Winrod of Wichita, Kansas—the founder of an organization named Defenders of the Christian Faith and Republican senatorial candidate in 1938—perceived the Roosevelt administration’s recognition of the Soviet Union as proof positive that the “hidden hand” of a Jewish cabal (the same one that had plotted the Bolshevik Revolution) was really pulling the strings. Father Charles Coughlin’s radio broadcasts with their sinister depictions of the “international bankers” who controlled Roosevelt reached millions of listeners. As historian Matthew Avery Sutton has argued, a substantial number of evangelical Christians strongly suspected that FDR was literally the Antichrist. (Online, such fantasies continue to circulate today: For one example, an organization calling itself the Christian Party has one lengthy post on the 1930s that describes the “Jew Deal” as “a tyrannical, plutocratic, Communist program for a Jewish collectivist state,” concluding: “The name that will live on in infamy: Franklin Delano Roosevelt / THE RED DEVIL !!!”)

Even more unimaginably perhaps, today we have a modern day version of Hitler’s American friends.
These people aren’t hiding. They aren’t fringe or subculture. Apparently, they aren’t ashamed to be associated with neo-Nazism, antisemitism, or even Hitler himself.
They have podcasts and hold rallies. They post antisemitic memes on social media. They are proud in their unabashed bigotry and defense of the world’s most terrible person.
One, Scott McKay, claims that Jews were behind 9/11 and the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, that they set up a banking system “in exchange for the blood sacrifice of a child,” among other wild assertions .. https://biz.crast.net/eric-trump-tourmate-scott-mckay-claims-jewish-people-are-traitors-and-hitler-was-really-fighting-the-same-people-were-trying-to-take-down-today/ .. , and he’s praised Hitler for “actually fighting the same people that we’re trying to take down today.”
Another unsavory character, Charlie Ward .. https://www.mediamatters.org/eric-trump/eric-trump-touring-another-antisemite-who-shares-pro-hitler-propaganda , similarly praises Hitler for “warning us” about Jews, regularly posts antisemitic garbage, and has alleged that the so-called Jewish media lied about the Holocaust.
Most Americans would walk five miles over broken glass to keep their distance from these grotesque figures. Most politically-savvy surrogates would consider a rally populated with Hitler supporters to be a liability — especially if their principle is, you know, running for president.
But not Team Trump — the former president’s son and daughter-in-law are reportedly joining these two at the Trump National Doral resort in Miami this weekend.
Eric Trump, Lara Trump, former California Rep. Devin Nunes, former Trump advisors Peter Navarro and Mike Flynn, My Pillow guy Mike Lindell and convicted felon Roger Stone may not actually call themselves Hitler’s American friends.
But they are, as of today, happy to appear alongside some self-avowed antisemites and Hitler promoters at an upcoming stop .. https://www.mediamatters.org/eric-trump/hitler-promoting-antisemites-will-speak-trumps-miami-hotel-alongside-eric-trump-lara .. on the “ReAwaken America” tour.
This event, in a way, completes the circle that began more than eight years ago.
Trump’s early flirtation with the previously underground and politically homeless cohort of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and conspiracy theorists ushered them into a new Republican Party that had, under Ronald Reagan, firmly attempted to relocate them into the dustbin of history.
It began somewhat casually in 2015, when Trump retweeted .. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37493165 .. a pro-Trump meme of Pepe, a cartoon frog that had been used by some on the alt-right to glorify Hitler and the KKK. It’s possible he didn’t know of the underlying themes, but in 2016, he retweeted .. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/04/donald-trump-antisemitic-hillary-clinton-tweet .. another antisemitic graphic, this one featuring Hillary Clinton on a backdrop of $100 bills, with a six-pointed star that read “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” The image was traced to a white supremacist message board. Trump again denied he knew what it meant.
Also in 2016, upon learning that the longtime and infamous racist and antisemite David Duke had endorsed him, Trump implausibly responded .. https://www.factcheck.org/2016/03/trumps-david-duke-amnesia/ .. “I just don’t know anything about him.”
His self-titled “America First” foreign policy was blasted by the Anti-Defamation League for harkening back to Lindbergh and the antisemitism that he promoted.
Trump appointed .. https://www.timesofisrael.com/donald-trumps-anti-semitism-controversies-a-timeline/ .. William Johnson, a leader of the white supremacist American Freedom Party, as a delegate in California, before blaming that on a “database error.”
These early days of playing footsie turned into an eventual outright embrace of the alt-right, including praise .. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-defends-2017-fine-people-comments-calls-robert/story?id=62653478 .. for neo-Nazis at a deadly rally in Charlottesville, dinner with a noted antisemite at his own home, and support of Republican candidates who had promoted white nationalism, conspiracy theories, and antisemitism. And now, his surrogates — and his own family members — are appearing alongside actual Hitler supporters at a pro-Trump event at a Trump property.
The deleterious effect of Trump and his new Republican Party’s tacit acceptance of antisemitism has been well-documented.
Antisemitic attacks are at an all-time high .. https://www.npr.org/2023/03/23/1165737405/antisemitism-statistics-report-2022-anti-defamation-league , rising 36% in 2022, according to an annual audit by the Anti-Defamation League. That was the third time in five years that the number had been the highest ever recorded since 1979.
Is it any wonder? Trump allowed these odious elements to tip-toe quietly into the party to get their votes…and now Team Trump is goose-stepping right alongside them. Disgusting.
