Benjamin Goggin, NBC News’s deputy tech editor, defended his report on Nazis receiving a “friendly reception” at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference after CPAC publicly called it “false, misleading, and grossly manipulative.”
“CPAC is continuing to call our reporting about Nazis at the conference ‘fake news.’ They haven’t responded to the video and photo evidence. This is Ryan Sanchez, a known and public neo-Nazi, giving a Nazi salute at CPAC. Greg Conte, who is also a public Nazi, is on his left,” Goggin replied and included the clip of the Nazi salute in a public space at the conference.
Goggin’s reporting follows Rob Smith, a Black and gay conservative influencer, sounding the alarm back in December after he was harassed by neo-Nazis at an event that took place alongside Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix.

The Nazis introduced themselves to me at a mixer and said they were national socialists, started talking about skull measurements and pushing the conspiracy theory that all races were being controlled Jewish people.
They were posting about their presence at CPAC online. https://t.co/iA0Hcw8Eel

Here’s a post from one mentioned in my piece wearing a cpac badge. In the next video, he’s giving a Nazi salute in the lobby of the conference hotel.

Despite these nazis having long public histories, people here are already twisting this into their conspiratorial ideologies. Proves how widespread and entrenched this type has thinking has become among some
