    Surprised he didn’t get a promotion.

    Oh well, someone else will pick him up, or he has a promising career as an ICE agent.

      Midterms, have to appeal to the independents that aren’t aware they are pieces of shit like the independents on here already know.

      Because smart people don’t like the Republican Party. Unless they are greedy and think they will benefit and only care about themselves.

        The cynic in me says it’s 100% optics. No one would care if he was sharing Nazi ideology or imagery in a private group chat or internal team communication, but when you post it on Facebook for the world to see, that’s when it becomes a potential PR disaster.

          I agree it’s likely optics but it says volumes about the political tides shifting.

          6 months ago most Republicans would have happily sat down for dinner with Nick Fuentes on camera for a chat about Holocaust History.

        He only got fired when it got the attention of the media. He was perfectly fine spewing his Nazi propaganda around the office, and slipping it into the candidate’s speeches, etc.

        His opponent should take advantage of this: Why would you hire a 25 year old Nazi to run an important campaign? That shows some poor hiring decisions. Are these the kind of staffers we can expect if he wins?

          I mean, that was kind of my point. I was replying to someone who said it was nice to see some empathy and I thought I’d chime in that it’s possibly being done for optics, but I’ll take one less Nazi in politics as a win.
