The Huffington Post reports:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) spoke at a white nationalist conference in Florida on Friday evening. Greene was the surprise speaker at the third annual America First Political Action Conference in Orlando, organized by white nationalist figurehead Nick Fuentes.
In her speech, Greene referred to the assembled AFPAC crowd — among them prominent right-wing extremists who have been photographed giving the Nazi salute and reciting the infamous “14 words,” a white supremacist slogan — as “canceled Americans.”
“You’ve been handed the responsibility to fight for our Constitution and stand for our freedoms, and stop the Democrats who are the communist party of the United States of America,” Greene said.
Mediaite reports:
AFPAC is led by White nationalist Nick Fuentes, who told the crowd, “Our secret sauce here – it’s these young, White men.” Fuentes’ line about young White men received hoots and hollers of approval.
“America and the world has forgotten about them, but not us,” he continued. “You know, they say about America, diversity is our strength, you know? And I look at China, I look at Russia, who – can we give a round of applause for Russia?”
The crowd obliged and raucously cheered the nuclear power that launched an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine this week. Some in the audience began chanting, “Putin, Putin,” to which Fuentes replied, “Absolutely, absolutely.”

Gab CEO Andrew Torba is up. He wants to talk about Christianity and “dissent,” or whatever, but here’s what more important: Gab is the website that Pittsburgh mass shooter Robert Bowers used to try and dox a left-wing blogger. https://t.co/Wmx0K5YeVo

Torba on those who call him “hateful” for platforming neo-Nazis, including terrorists: “Yes, I am hateful. I hate evil. I hate Satan. And I hate the antichrist… God has zero tolerance with regards to sin.”
