Republicans Have A Big Nazi Problem
College Republicans of America, a network of right-wing clubs with more than 280 chapters, recently named Kai Schwemmer the new political director.
Schwemmer will play a vital role in directing the organization, which has contributed to the GOP’s leadership and ideology pipeline. And his new role has additional significance because, as a devotee of neo-Nazi podcaster Nick Fuentes, it hints at the future of an increasingly bigoted Republican Party.
The GOP’s affiliation with antisemitism and racism is nothing new. The party has been knee-deep in bigoted politics since at least the 1960s—and since President Donald Trump became the party’s leader in 2016, the right has more openly embraced this kind of hate.
