Republican congressman appears at white nationalist conference whose founder called Capitol riot

Republican congressman appears at white nationalist conference whose founder called Capitol riot ‘awesome’

Republican congressman Paul Gosar appeared at a white nationalist political conference before attending the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), according to reports.

The Arizona Republican appeared on-stage at the "America First Political Action Conference" (AFPAC) on Friday, following the far-right conference’s founder, Nicholas Fuentes.

Mr Fuentes, an alleged white nationalist, said on Friday that the Capitol riot – in which five people died – was “awesome”, and that "white people are done being bullied".

The AFPAC founder went on to add that if the country "loses its white demographic core, then this is not America anymore”.

white nationalist groups. Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys is another. I'm curious about that, too.
