Paul Gosar to share stage with members of party founded by Nazis: report

Rep. Paul Gosar (R) this week will share a stage with members of a European political party founded by former Nazis, The Forward reports.

The far-right congressman is scheduled to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference’s annual Hungary gathering, where he’ll be joined by the nation’s authoritarian leader Victor Orbán, who himself has trafficked in antisemitic tropes and glorified Nazi collaborators.

The conference, which starts Thursday, was organized by U.S. and European allies of the American Conservative Union, a group with GOP ties.

Others expected to attend include Freedom Party of Austria Chairman Herbert Kickl, whose party was founded by former Nazis in 1956, and Jack Posobiec, an alt-right conspiracy theorist who has promoted white nationalist and antisemitic views.

A believer, I guess.

Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar Defends Far-Right Hungarian Leader Viktor Orbán
ELIZABETH WHITMAN AUGUST 23, 2019



To some American politicians, Hungary's far-right leader Viktor Orbán is a strongman to be avoided and condemned.

But to Arizona Representative Paul Gosar, Orbán is a "patriot" who presides over a country that "demonstrates the values of Western civilization and democracy, sovereignty, and self-determination," according to a draft resolution Gosar recently wrote in support of Hungary and its nationalist leader.
