The event is being hosted later this month by College Republicans United, a group that, according to its website, has been committed to “spreading America First across college campuses since January 2018.” Among its “values” are planks like “opposition to immigration and multiculturalism.”

College Republicans United are inviting a Nazi to speak?

Next thing you know they'll get upset over getting called "Nazis" just for inviting Nazis to speak at their events...

How long is it before they embrace the Nazi label? They already called themselves domestic terrorists at CPAC.

Oh there's a lot of Republicans in AZ making public statements that they don't condone this and assuring the public they aren't Nazis.

[-] CharlotteRain@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Ah so only some of them aren't Nazis. Got it.

if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.

College Republicans United? And their Twitter handle is National_RU? And it was "established in 2018 to oppose what was seen as a CRNC that was hostile to President Donald Trump"?

Anyone else smelling vodka and borscht here?

Nick is a nazi who agrees with them so they bring him there.
