Benjamin Goggin, NBC News’s deputy tech editor, defended his report on Nazis receiving a “friendly reception” at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference after CPAC publicly called it “false, misleading, and grossly manipulative.”
Goggin noted in his report that CPAC has long had to deal with far-right extremists trying to infiltrate the conference, but in past years would quickly eject those with explicit ties to neo-Nazis, like Nick Fuentes.
“But this year, racist conspiracy theorists didn’t meet any perceptible resistance at the conference where Donald Trump has been the keynote speaker since 2017,” Goggin wrote…
Well they don’t consider Nick Fuentes to be a Nazi anymore. When his views weren’t as mainstream in the Republican Party, he was a Nazi. Now he’s just “really conservative on social issues”
Or more accurately, they don’t consider nazis bad anymore.
