At the Young Republican mixer Friday evening a group of Nazis, who openly identified as national socialists, mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed race science and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Just because it needs to be pointed out every time. If they were frustrated by fascists/Nazis co-opting the party. They're 100 years too late.

The father and grandfather of 2 American presidents was implicated. As well as the head of JP Morgan at the time. No one was punished, or called out even. And the history of the incident has largely been completely scrubbed out of existence.

According to Katz, "Prescott Bush was too involved with the actual Nazis to be involved with something that was so home grown as the business plot."

It's ok, Prescott wasn't plotting to overthrow the US with those fringe Nazis, he was too busy working with the real Nazis!
