'The Hill' Scrubs Articles By Pro-Trump Group Adviser After 'Mediaite' Report on Nazi Remarks

by Tamar Auber | 3:31 pm, May 10th, 2018

The Hill has dropped contributor Juan Pablo Andrade, also a policy advisor for America First Policies after Mediaite published a report on his vile comments praising Nazis.

“As soon as The Hill was made aware of this video and the comments made by Mr. Andrade, we are no longer publishing his opinion pieces and are removing his work from our site,” a spokesperson from The Hill told Mediaite.

Earlier on Wednesday, Mediate‘s Caleb Ecarma published a report that included a Snapchat video of Andrade making provocative remarks while attending a Turning Point USA conference near President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in December.

“The only thing the Nazis didn’t get right is they didn’t keep fucking going!” Andrade is heard exclaiming in the video filmed in a hotel room paid for by Turning Point USA.

Last December, in a Florida hotel room just three miles from President Donald Trump’s “Winter White House,” a policy advisor for the Trump-tied nonprofit America First Policies praised Nazis and expressed disappointment that they didn’t “keep fucking going.”

Juan Pablo Andrade voiced his love for the Third Reich — in a video obtained by Mediaite — while attending a Turning Point USA conference, which is a youth conservative organization, endorsed by everyone from Trump to Senator Marco Rubio, known as much for racism as it is for diaper-wearing.


The organization — founded by Charlie Kirk and in the news recently because one of its members received Twitter shoutouts from Kanye West and Trump – held its 2017 annual activism summit in West Palm Beach, Florida,
a stone’s throw from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. It was attended by more than a thousand young conservatives, and featured speeches from first-son Donald Trump Jr., Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Fox News personality Tomi Lahren, right-wing pundit Ben Shapiro, ex-White House official Seb Gorka, and a slew of other personalities inhabiting the MAGA-sphere.

Andrade, aside from his work for the pro-Trump America First group, has quite the resume. Per his LinkedIn account, he worked on Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council, Trump’s National Diversity Coalition and the Trump campaign as a surrogate. He writes for The Hill as an opinion contributor and has shared his political opinions on NewsmaxTV, CNN Latino, and Univision. Additionally, he worked for TPUSA as the group’s Florida field director in 2015 and led the group’s informal Latino caucus in 2016, according to sources with direct knowledge of his involvement in the nonprofit...............................
