Fuentes, for example, once defended the anti-Black terror of the Jim Crow era in the American South, saying it was “better for us, better for them.” He also once compared Jews killed in Nazi concentration camp gas chambers to cookies baking in an overn.
Still, Fuentes and his “Groyper Army” have managed to make inroads within the Republican Party, and were a frequent fixture at then-President’s Make America Great Again rallies across the country last year. They also played a major role in the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol following an incendiary speech by Trump.
Gosar, in response to the criticism heaped upon him following his speech to the “America First” conference, said “white racism” was “not appropriate.” But he also defended reaching out to the conference attendees. “There is a group of young people that are becoming part of the election process and becoming a bigger force,” he said.
HuffPost last week reached out to the offices of seven prominent Republican lawmakers to see if they’d denounce Gosar for speaking at Fuentes’ white nationalist conference in Florida.Given such reluctance, it’s uncertain whether Republicans will punish Gosar for continuing to promote and associate with a white nationalist group. Options include censuring him, stripping him of his committee assignments, or altogether expelling him from Congress.
Gosar, 62, is a former dentist first elected to the House as part of the tea party class of 2010. He gained national attention in 2018 when six of his nine siblings came out against his reelection that year, attacking his extremist views.
